Dear Board of Trustees,

I believe Nelson Central School shouldn’t have bring your own device (BYOD) to school. BYOD is when children bring devices such as IPADs, Tablets, Laptops and IPOD touches. They connect to them to the school wireless and use their own devices for learning.

I believe that IPADs cost a lot of money and $800x2 IPADs will cost $1600. For my family it’ll cost $3200 because we have four family members in our family.

Secondly I believe BYOD at NCS isn’t a good idea because kids loose hats and clothes so why should we ever have devices at school. Losing the devices will cost a lot of money to repay, unless the school has insurance on the devices. Otherwise it’s a lot of money!

Lastly, say if device and one of your other friends didn’t have a device would you share your device I know I would because I’m a caring person. But if someone else had a device and wanted to use mine I wouldn’t let them use it because they already have a device. Some people might find it unfair that they don’t have a device and you do.

In conclusion I believe we shouldn’t have BYOD at NCS because it will make kids avoid the playground, sand pit, ball wall and playing

foursquare. I hope you don’t agree to BYOD for NCS.

Kind regards,

Grace Meehan
