In many countries, people celebrate Screen-Free Week. It is on the first week of May every year. People are encouraged to turn off screens during the week.

Supporters of Screen-Free Week say turning off tech devices(設(shè)備)is good for kids. According to a study, kids slept better and got better grades when their parents limited(限制)their screen time. Also, some people think Screen-Free Week can help kids develop a good habit. They point out that many kids who took part in the event in the past now spend less time using tech devices.

However, not everyone supports the idea. Some people argue that screen time is OK as long as kids don’t overdo(濫用)it. Also, others say turning off tech devices completely for a week won’ t teach kids how to balance(兼顧)screen time with other activities.

Here’s what two students think:

YES! Kids spend too much time in front of screens. According to a study, kids spend about seven hours a day in front of TVs, computers and other devices. Instead of sitting around playing video games, kids should be more active. They can make art, play sports or hang out with friends and family.

Davis, 14, New York

NO! Not all screen time is bad for kids. There are many educational television shows, apps and websites which help kids learn. Besides, it’s important for kids to use tech devices, because many jobs depend on knowing how to use technology. Instead of working on cutting kids’ screen time, parents should help kids learn to use tech devices wisely.

Moes. 12, Nebraska

Two days ago, I had taken a test in Biology, and I knew that I would get my scores in the same class today.

After the bell rang, every student sat in his or her seat impatiently. Then, one by one, the teacher called our names.

As each paper was given back to the correct student, the front of the answer paper would always be turned to face the ground and the paper itself would be slightly folded (折疊) to prevent anyone from seeing.

In fact, folding each test paper is a way to make sure that each student sees only his or her own scores. The scores are seen as private information not to be announced or shown to others. As a way to keep the students' score records secret, each student is given an online account (帳號) with which to check his or her grades posted on the official school website.

Protecting students' private information always comes first in US schools that want to free students from unnecessary pressure. School reports are guarded closely to prevent poor grades from damaging a student's dignity and reputation (尊嚴(yán)和聲譽(yù)), which are for himself or herself only.

However, some insist that although students' feelings and self-dignity are easily hurt, they cannot be forever protected. They say that school also teach their students to make themselves stronger in mind, and the classroom should show the reality of competition in society. Scores that everyone can see might better encourage students to work harder to be better than others.
