I should disagree. While YouTube can be used for less than educational purposes, that does not mean the teachers cannot prevent YouTube from being used in unwanted ways. Here are some ways that Teachers can filter what is seen on YouTube.

1. Use sites like safeshare to remove things like suggested videos and ads that may be distracting.

2. Share videos directly and do not permit it as a research source outside of classes.

3. Use filters to block inappropriate content.

4. And finally, watch students carefully when using YouTube in class.

My next point. In a time where using online resources in school is almost required, a useful resource like YouTube should be allowed. Also, YouTube is just one site. In order to prevent the internet from being used in ways that are not allowed, there are to options. Use extreme levels of security to monitor pupils, or completely ban the internet, completely overlooking a potentially useful source. Thank you.

although YouTube has some good content about learning but for every god there is a devil.

YouTube has now become platform for click bait pranks and nudity. It is more of a distraction than it is a help for students. And lets be honest How many of the students are actually gonna use it for studies or learning ? 1 or 2% of them rest are gonna enjoy vlogs, pranks and game play videos . So i think it should be banned in schools.

Side: Yes
