Persuasive Letter

09/16/2012 Ms. June Watkins Principal L iodin High School 12345 Out There Road Somewhere, KY 54321 Dear Ms. Watkins It has come to my assist that the students of this school, in particular the incoming freshman, pass on be required to uptake IPads during this school year. The idea of employ such technology is an advantage in some cases, like the continual ability to stay certain through the internet and the light weight of the device. However, there are other situations where IPads, being the only extraction for information, resources, and school supplies, are inappropriate for our students.Thus, I ask for your consideration in not implementing such devices in this school. First, we must consider the finances of most of the students and parents in this district. The option for payment of the device is given at the end of their high school careers with the school making the initial payment however, the device could be overage or broken by that beat. What happens if one of the d evices breaks during the school year or at any time during high school? Do the parents pay for the broken IPad as well a new one? Second, the students will be using the IPads at all points in time during school and at home.How will the put outs of social networking, instant chat, and random browsing of the internet during class time be addressed? Students would carry extreme restriction because of the inappropriate use of the internet will there be a point of accumulation set on the devices, and is it even possible to restrict the device? Lastly, I want to address the issue of word study and research by use of an IPad. Although there are many sources in which a student can gain more literacy, there are many more that encourage the use of poor grammar and spelling.Many times students rely on the computer to spit out the correct spelling, meaning, and content without the apprehension that there are reliable and unreliable sources. How can we implement a device that goes against wh at we are nerve-racking to teach our students? With all of the positive uses of the IPad, there are an equal amount of negative uses for the same device. I hope you consider the points I have given before implementing such a major intensify in the school that will affect all students, teachers, and parents in this district. Thank you for your time. Sincerely,
