Many people may argue yes, because they find their classes to be dull, and want an alternative to the droning noise of their teachers voice. I don't take such a cynical stance of class, but actually believe that listening to music can help certain individuals to concentrate and work more efficiently - for example, when revising, I find low volume music can help me to work faster and, actually, better. Whenever a teacher allows music in class, I work much better than without it - people are going to concentrate more on their work than speaking to classmates, and get more work done.

Of course, I cannot argue that students be allowed to just come into a lesson and start listening to music immediately - first, the teacher must be allowed to do their job (teach the lessons content), and set tasks - but proceeding this, I see no possible harm that can be caused. As soon as a task has been set, students, in my opinion, should be allowed to listen to music (at a suitable noise level, of course).

Of course they should. For some students, music helps them think as they do their work, it can also make them get the work done quicker as they have less distractions (ie: talking to friends). However I'll just point out that the only time I would deem this unacceptable is when the teacher is talking to the class and teaching something. The obvious thing is to stop listening to the music and listen to what the teacher is teaching you. For other things, I feel it is completely okay to listen to music in class, as long as the work is getting done.

yes , but in free classes only . That will make us feel better . And I like music so much .

THIS IS AWSOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

listing music in school refresh our mood to be able to study

it will be nice but not in math class in addetion we can make a free 3-4 min in the half of every class to do it

It should be fine for study sessions or independent work as long as the student has good earbuds that nobody else can hear and be distracted by.

Not for tests though. How long would it be before somebody puts the answers on their player and skip studying for the test?

I think we should listen to music in school, just not during class. Just before school, after school, recess and lunch.music can help students concentrate calm down and it reduces the background noise.

yes i like listen music in the class , but not all classes only in the bored classes

Listening to music for a while during classes can be helpful for students, for it's power of adjusting mood and refreshing mind and for it is a couse of relaxation after a tough exam or a defficult subject that should help students to be positively active and concentrated :).

I think yes because he will be able to relax in the class

students now a days feel bored because of retune so we have to listen to some music ^_^

when students listen music , it's give them high energy to complete there lesson with open mind ...

studying for a lot of hours , makes students feel boring , so we have to listen some ..

many students addicted on listening music , so they need to listen to concentrate in class ..

“Listening to Music Helps Students Be More Productive in The Classroom.

It has been scientifically proven that students perform better with music on. Of course, let the teacher set the tasks and teach, etc. but once the students get to work, I think they should definitely be allowed to listen to music. It helps people concentrate more, and teachers are always asking for a silent classroom, and if students are listening to music, you would be able to hear a pin drop!

I think that listening to music in the classroom through lessons would help students relax so that they can be more productive .I don't think that listening to music in the classroom will confuse or bother students because there are many types of music and the intended type here is the quiet one, which doesn't make the student annoyed or disturbed.

I'm pretty sure someone was drunk when they made this because the obvious answer is yes

I'm pretty sure someone was drunk when they made this because the obvious answer is yes

Yes, they should. There are schools banning the use of earphones for anything. I think that if it is silent work, such as writing documents on the computer, students should be able to listen to any music they like using Pandora or anything similar.

that what i was waiting for <3 it's such an awesome idea i hope it'll be real

that will make us more fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is up to your prospective. If I was the student I would be ecstatic at this idea. However, on the teachers side, it would be pestered by this vexing activity in the classroom. On the students side I can find arguments supporting this detail, 2 against it. I will first and foremost start with the points supporting music in the classroom from the students prospective. Firstly, music helps you concentrate. Each individual taste for music means that they won't get annoyed by what song is playing and diverge from school work or listening to the teacher just to change the song. Secondly, it would exit you for school. Most students will get up in the morning with a sense of, 'Dang it, school...", or somewhere along those lines. However, with music it could be more like,"Yeah, I know what I'm going to listen to in science!"

That point brings me to the downfall of having music in a classroom from a students prospective. Firstly, to a student working hard in school to achieve something great, such as strait A's, these would be annoying having them working on there working listening to their teacher while everyone else in zoning-out. Lastly, (the last point on the students behalf) it may be hard to hear the teacher. Now I realize this is a weak point, and I realize it could be easily fixed by having a volume that you have to be at. However, it is a fair point in this argument considering this whole debate could be over by just asking your theater for permission for you, and/or your classmates.

Now I will talk on behalf of the teachers. I have, for the teacher, come up with 2 upsides and 2 downsides. Firstly, on the upside, students will be more engaged on you depending on the student. For brilliant students who like to talk to their friends, it would pull their attention away from their friends, and, hopefully, back on you, helping them succeed. Secondly, they may learn something about music, like how it is structured, and what instruments are used in what songs (the more knowledge the better ;).) Now to the downsides, if I were a teacher, of music in class. First of all, most students don't listen to classical or music that is scientifically proven to help students learn, they mostly listen to modern music which can easily diverge them to dancing or singing catchy melodies as modern songs often do. Finally, there could be stolen mp3's or iPod's causing fights and overall, total chaos.

In conclusion, I believe that music should be listened to in classrooms with caution, however only do it with your teacher, and fellow classmates, approval.

(Thank You For Reading This Lengthy Argument!)

Music has been proven to stimulate the brain so FUCK YES. I think I would be a totally fascinating combination lml

Music has a positive effect on the brain. By allowing students to listen to music in class, they are likely to be less bored and more productive. Obviously, don't let them listen to music WHILE the teacher is speaking; only while the teacher is not talking. It CAN be a distraction if abused, but with proper moderation it can turn out to be a great success.

I think so, but only during work time. I'm in high school and my teachers all let us listen to music when they aren't talking. By listening to music, that makes kids not talk to each other, resulting in a better learning environment. It will make kids more focused, too. With having something that you like and that is familiar to you, it makes that class seem a little bit easier and takes some stress off of your back.

Absolutely, I am a student and music helps me focus. As long as everyone has headphones or ear buds, I think it is a great idea!

It depends. There are some people who couldn't focus while listening to music... Though, hey, it's your grades!

Children should listen to music because students say they work better listening to music also did you know that if you listen to your favorite songs it boosts your mental focus but if you listen to unknown music your brain slows down and you perform less in class.

Yes but only if it's high quality, nutrient dense rap music.
