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.

The true definition of

"Religion" is: 'people's beliefs and opinions concerning the existence, nature, and worship of a deity or deities, and divine involvement in the universe and human life.' An atheist's opinion is the that there is no God. They have their own notions concerning these points as do all religions. Some have one god, some have multiple. Some believe their god/gods and good and some bad. Please look at these points and ask yourself, 'Is atheism a religion?'
