Children use school headphones on a daily basis. Teachers
purchase and store their own student headphones at home in a classroom. But
what if you have trouble getting your students to wear the right headphones?
I know this, because many small kids do not like to take off
their headphones when they are doing something fun like watching television. If
they are the only ones wearing their headphones, the entire class will be
forced to participate.
Now that's not to say your child won't enjoy doing what they
want to do, but having their own headphones gives them the feeling of being
"in" the learning environment. They can even try the extra benefit of
trying new things if they can't seem to find the headphones. This is a great
time for your child to expand their listening skills.
Having your own students at home can also be a problem, as
many students may not feel comfortable wearing your brand of headphones because
they feel they are being targeted by bullies. If your student has to wear any
headphones at all, it should be a cheap pair of generic earbuds that you could
get your child at any local store.
Cheap earbuds are easier to install, but they don't last
long. You will have to replace them soon enough, as they will eventually get
ruined.
Your student should be wearing earplugs every day, even
during classroom activities, as most teachers will have a student monitor them.
For a student to feel confident, they need to be able to keep their ears safe
and clear.
If you have small children in your class, then this issue
can even make it hard to be quiet in quiet classes. Because the sound will
travel from classroom to classroom, and there are dozens of students in each
class, it can be extremely difficult to find a quiet space that the teacher
does not have to shout to get the attention of all the students.
You have two options when you have to pick headphones for
your student. The first is to tell them to use their old earbuds, or the second
is to buy brand new student headphones.
If your students have never used headphones before, you will
have to teach them how to use them. You should have a few pairs in each pair of
earbuds so that your student can try them out until they learn how to use them
properly.
As for new school headphones, which are
inexpensive, you can easily purchase several new pairs of cheap earbuds and let
your student try them out in their old school headsets. This is something that
can be done with headphones, as long as they were not meant for sports or other
loud situations.
Even if you have old school headsets and you just need to
get rid of them, you can easily bring your old headphones to the local
electronics store to buy a new pair. It is also a great idea to keep a few sets
of classroom headphones in the
same room where you keep your child's old earbuds.
Since many students hate wearing their school classroom headphones,
they are quickly getting tired of being singled out for wearing the wrong
headphones. If you think about it, they can wear the old earbuds that are no
longer good, or they can have a new pair put in.
