because it crosses the line between school work and social lives, and should not be required. Social networks can often serve as distractions, so if students were required to use them all day in addition to using them outside of school, we think that much less work would get done because of how distracting social networks can be. Also, social networks could make it easier for cheating to occur. Students could go online and share messages, giving away answers, that teachers would not be able to see, thus making cheating easier for students. For these reasons we think that yes, social networking sites should be banned in schools.
