However this can be countered easily with a variety of options that can help with this addiction at one’s disposal. For example parents could install an application that limits the amount of time a student can use for one day at what time he can use during the day. This will help to get students controlled and to be able to resist the temptation to use their phones during class hours

Counter:  Despite its numerous advantages, it is often argued that using electronic devices for education is a double-edged sword. Some argue that using electronic gadgets is a hindrance to studies. An article stated that “ electronic devices significantly increases distractions for students, which lowers their attention span”. This causes many to presume that electronic devices compromises the learning process.However, this is not a major problem as software can be downloaded to prevent students from accessing websites that will divert their attention. By implementing such methods to restrict access,, students will be more attentive. Thus, electronic gadgets are beneficial to students’ education.

However this is only for a small group of students and can be prevented if students exercise self-control. When one is able to control their temptations to use electronic devices for other purposes apart from studying, electronic devices would not hinder students in their studies.

Counterargument/rebuttal:

Although electronic devices make learning more engaging and more effective it can also  act as an obstacle on their path to success. Electronic devices can be a major distraction to a student. Some students that have more self-control do not fall into the big traps of social media and mobile games while others who don’t, lose themselves to it.  How many of us can resist the urge to see the notification when our phones vibrate. In July of 2018, the French government passed a law banning cell phones in schools. According to CNN, the law passed 62 votes to one. The policy came into effect during the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year and impacts students in kindergarten through the 9th grade. Although France considers phones to be a major issue in school other countries still believe that the issue of students getting distracted by phones can be solved with a little more self-control from the students side. For example here in Singapore schools still believe that with a few rules in place .

Stand: Electronic devices help students in their studies.

Rebuttal: Despite the countless benefits to using technology as a medium for education, there are minor fixable repercussions. For example, people may get too distracted due to the internet being readily accessible and available. The internet is often regarded to a black hole where it can engulf you. People often find themselves drifting away and using social media platforms like Instagram where you can scroll away for hours without noticing the sheer amount of time you have spent on the platform. Most of the platforms engage in social media hours to make their content more enticing and addictive. Some people may end up playing instead of studying which was supposed to be their main purpose. An example of this is a psychology study found that the use of electronic devices significantly increases distraction for students, which lowers their attention span and compromises learning in the process.  This would result in drastically deteriorating results due to the lack of revision. An easy fix to this is that parents can enable "guided access". Using this, parents can deny access to various applications of their choice and limit the use of the phone strictly to study purposes and students are obligated to use their technology solely for educational purposes.

An article stated that “ electronic devices significantly increases distractions for students, which lowers their attention span”. This causes many to presume that electronic devices compromises the learning process.However, this is not a major problem as software can be downloaded to prevent students from accessing websites that will divert their attention.For example, i myself am prone to using my phone excessively instead of studying. However, I soon realised that it was an awful habit as i did not have time to my homework and other assignments. Hence, to practice self control i activated the screen time option on my phone. Thus, i couldnt use my phone for more than 3 hours a day By implementing such methods to restrict access,students will be more attentive. Thus, electronic gadgets are beneficial to students’ education.

On the other hand,failure time and time again can lead to the problem of low morale , low self-esteem and low value of self-worth which can lead to a person becoming more shut off like a hermit from the world and shift from the growth mindset like that of a sprout to the fixed mindset like that of bricks where we believe that we cannot change ourselves which can lead to a slowed progress of learning.However,In moderation,failure can help us to learn faster by teaching us humility which makes us fear failure less so we are more willing to learn despite the propability of failure.It can also help us to keep sight of our goals to stop us from straying off from striving to improve ourselves as they remind us that we can still be better everyday.

counter argument: Yoda once said'the greatest teacher failure is'Those willing to learn from failure can use it as an effective tool to bring them to greater heights.

rebuttal:

However our brains are built with a negative bias. This means that our brains respond more sensitively towards negative information.This bias is so automatic it can be detected at the earliest stage of information processing. A study in detroit  conducted by  doctor Rayne Forrest,P.H.D had monitored electrical activity in the cerebral cortex when reacting to negative stimuli [scars or a loved one dying] positive stimuli [pizza or cricket] or neutral stimuli [hand dryer or plate]. The study found that electrical activity in cerebral cortex surged when exposed to negative stimuli.To put this into context;the neurons in our brains produce electrical signals when reacting to any given situation. A surge of these electrical signals when reacting to negative stimuli shows that our brains are biased towards negativity.Failure can activate this 'negative bias' causing one to feel bad or lose motivation to learn.

Some people think that students will use their electronic device like their phone to use social media or use youtube to watch videos and not study.These days, students are using more and more of their electronic device.  As a result, students will not study and waste all their time on their electronic device.

However, this is easily avoided by having good self discipline. Even if they have no self discipline, there are apps to block certain apps and prevent students from using them and not studying.

I strongly believe that electronic gadgets lends a helping hand to   students  in their studies . 

On the other side of the coin, electronic device which  is a double-edged sword, is  also  harmful to students in studies as electronic devices are very addictive for students. According to Slick text, 80% of people use their phones before sleeping.  67% of teachers have seen students be distracted by their phones. 47% of parents think their child is addicted to their phone. This clearly shows that students are engrossed with their phones most of the time and that parents and teachers are worried and anxious  like a chimpanzee   about the distraction of mobile phones as this could lead to students' attitudes to change from bad to worse and they will also not be concentrating on their studies.However, this can be solved by having parental control application on students electronic devices . Through this, parents can control their children's usage of electronic devices and can block or restrict distracting applications . students can now use their mobile phones for school purposes only . In a nut shell, electronic devices can be both boon and bane.

Some may argue that failure is a hindrance to our progress, offering no help, other than being a setback. Failures may obstruct our development, affect our morale and even arouse feelings of frustration, fury and disappointment. For example, when a student who has consistently been doing well in his subjects, fails an exam, he may feel inadequate and discouraged. This may result in a downwards trend and his results may experience a further fall due to die lowered morale. However, after seeing past these possible negative outcomes, failure provides us the opportunity to better ourselves. Failures are hurdles for us to overcome, in order to learn from our weakness. Learning from failure is more substantial than pointless progress that does not teach us anything as it provides us the opportunity to learn from our mistakes. After knowing our shortcomings, we will be able to take precautions and prevent the same mistakes form happening again. Failure is the mother of success; experiencing failure is necessary so we can know our shortcomings and how to overcome them.

In some cases, electronic devices may not help students with their studies. In class, electronic devices may distract students and may potentially cause them to miss out important details or notes. As more online games are increasingly popular among teens such as ‘Mobile Legends’ and ‘ Call of Duty’, teens may not be able to control their temptations to use their phones in class, hence causing them to be distracted, unfocused and inattentive. Individually, online sites like ‘Google’ may contain false information, bringing across the wrong message to students. Imagine yourself understanding the wrong concept and applying it to test and exams. However, this only affects a small group of students. In class, with the proper guidance and instructions from the teachers, all the inappropriate phone uses can he controlled. For example, teachers can impose rules and consequences for the misuse of phones such as confiscation of handphones. Teachers can also safe keep students handphones so no distractions takes place. This may cause students to be more serious and careful when using their phones. With this in place, it can certainly boost the benefits of electronic devices.

    Some have argued that we will not learn from failure. Failure will only destroy our spirit like a monster. They think there are actually numerous people failing to stand up again after the failure. However, does this really mean we cannot learn from failure? In my opinion, if only one failure can destroy one`s spirit, he or she will never build a great business. Failure is like a test to check whether one has resilience or not. Actually, failure can cultivate one`s perseverance, failure can help one know who his or her true love friends and failure can bring many personal improvement to one. At the same time, it helps to learn to become optimistic. There is an old saying, there is no success without failure. Failure is like a base to build our characteristics to fight for success. Therefore, failure is beneficial to one`s experience and one`s growth.
