Should social media be used in schools?

I may not be the best one to answer - but NO. Which side will you be debating?

School is for learning the basics in many areas. Science, English, Math, History, etc. are all areas a person needs to know so you can learn and grow. Social media will only give many different opinions on these topics and not lend any background or knowledge. Once you know the basics then college can increase your knowledge.

Social media is just that - SOCIAL. It is fine if you want to share your opinions with fellow classmates and other groups but not in the school.

The old saying of 'if you do not learn from history then you are likely to repeat it' is so true. Keep knowledge where it belongs and learn from it - not try and intertwine with opinions.
