Why are schools now asking for headphones?

Question

Hello! I live in Georgia, USA and I'm new to this since my child is barely entering kindergarten this year, but why is it they are asking for headphones? personally I don't think they're necessary.

Answer

Probably for the computer/tablet. They get to learn about technology now☺️

Answer

Good thing a non teacher thinks they’re unnecessary 🙄
Kindergarten is not what it was when you were in it. It’s more like first grade. They will be using technology and having things read to them, etc.. 
The teacher isn’t going to request things for no reason

Answer

Possibly they are going to be using a computer to learn. Which is stupid considering thats what the teacher is for.

Answer

Technology has become such a staple now that they start teaching them very young so they aren’t behind when they get older.

Answer

They probably have a station set up for some kind of learning tool and it’s not sanitary to share (kids are gross lol).

Answer

because they often play educational games on tablets or the computer now.

Answer

My son’s teachers require them for computer class and their iPads. He’s now in 2nd grade and they still ask..

Answer

I teach kindergarten and during small group reading time, one station is Listen to Reading. This helps with fluency, vocabulary, etc.

Answer

It’s so they don’t have health risks from sharing headphones when using computer programs and such :)
