Should students be allowed to surf websites that are not related to education during school time? Many people believe that it won’t bring much differences to them if they are surfing the Internet while doing their work. However studies show that many students are distracted by those websites and not focusing on their work. There are two reasons why students shouldn’t be allowed to surf websites other than education.

The first reason is students don’t feel like doing their work. In the first place, if they are free to surf the Internet, they will have a feeling of surfing the web rather than doing their work. They will feel like there is something better and more interesting than doing their work, so they will choose to do it. Of equal importance, students feel so bored doing their work, and they won’t do their work. If they are not allowed to surf those websites other than education, the only thing they can do will be doing their work. Furthermore, surfing the Internet is way more interesting than doing their work; so they will prefer surfing the Internet to doing their work.

The second reason is it will distract themselves or others while they are surfing the websites. In support of this, they will find something interesting from the Internet; and they will try to show it to his friends who may be trying to do their work. Consequently, both of them won’t be able to do their work in class because they will be watching the attractive or funny thing together; and not doing their work. Also, they will laugh out loud or make some sound if they see something funny or disgusting. This will affect other student’s concentration on their work.

Now that we have examined that students won’t do their work if they are free to surf the Internet. They shouldn’t be allowed to surf the websites which are not related to education. Try to stop students from surfing non-educational websites by monitoring all of the screens of the computer in the room. Take another step to make the students to understand the reason of doing that. If they are still doing the same thing, they need to be punished or sent for counseling. Should students be allowed to surf websites that are not related to education during school time?
