My Project

Our schools is an alternative school that serves all the schools in our system. These earbuds will be used in our lab and will help our students in this process. This is because all of their assignments are computerized. Since many of those assignments have video or audio files, you can probably see why headphones or earbuds are so important.

I realize that this may sound like a simple item to request, but headphones have become an important resource for my students to work at their best.

Rather than getting headphones, earbuds will be much more cost effective. From what we have seen, any headphones have a shelf life. There is no reason to pay higher prices some something when the less expensive product will last just as long.

The fact is that headphones break or wear out over time. We are now in extreme need for them because our students use them every day. There is no way that our students can go without these because they can not possibly hear lectures and other materials for their classes. Without them, they would have to listen to their speakers. I am sure you could imagine how loud that would be. Since many of our students have emotional issues, the less chaotic our class can be, the better. This is true for our students who have special needs or not.

In Please help my students to have the materials they need to succeed!
