Debate - Do teens require smart phones

Your smart phone has already replaced your camera, your television and now your family also. I hope my dear friends, you have already understood my today's topic of debate. Respected Principal, reverent judges, worthy teachers and all my dear friends, a very cheerful morning to all of you.  Today, I am going to express my opinion on a topic: 'Should teens be provided mobiles.' And I will speak against the motion.

August audience, it is well known to us that mobile phones creates a lot of trouble for our society and because of it we all are living a life of zombies. And if we will not confine its use then definitely our prospective human resources will be dilapidated desperately.

Nowadays, many children are provided with mobile phones since early ages in order to, according to some parents, keep in contact with their parents when they are out home. But, *are we aware of the risks that new smartphones have?* As I see it, new technologies and children should be controled by adults as far as it is possible.

*My main reason to think this is a psychological reason.* Young children are not able to understand the risks and problems that smarthones can produce. Children want to be as their classmates, to be in fashion. Managing a smartphone with its characteristics is a difficult task which requires maturity.

Another reason is internet and its wide world connection. It is a well-known fact that loading photos to internet means lose your privacy. When a picture is loading in known social networks as Facebook, it is imposible to know where the picture ends up.

*Many people including my opponents argues that children today need to carry mobile phones so their parents are be able to locate them at any time.* Moreover, they say that having a rechargable card is a good way to control the spent money by children. I can be agree with that, children today go out more than us in the past, and it is a good way to know where they are but don't you think that the continuous contact of mobile phones can also harm their brain tissues and it can also lead them towards mental retardedness.

Do you want your wards to be mentally retarded!

For monitoring children we can adopt certain other measures except mobile phones.

To sum up, I strongly believe that we should teach our children about the new technologies´risks. From schools and homes we have to talk with them about it. New technologies emerged to improve our life quality, from the knowledge they can fulfill their designated purpose but it should not be at the cost of their own health. And moreover there is no need to let them be provided the mobile phones as it bleaks their concentration power.

Debate - Can tutor Really replace teacher?

"A teacher is a friend, philosopher and guide", said by one of the foreign Educationist and Vedas described a Teacher next to Almighty omnipotent God. Respected Principal, reverent judges, worthy teachers and all my dear friends, a very cheerful morning to all. Today I am going to concrete my views on the topic *Can tutors replace teacher?*  And I will speak against the motion.

August audience, it is a well known insurmountable fact that a student is just like a ship without compass in the absence of a good and efficient teacher. And it is a Teacher who always tend to take a lot of pain, insult and burdon only because she/he want their pupil to be the shining stars of zenith. Their endeavours show their magnetic and marvellous personality and we can't replace them with tutors as tutors are confined with the syllabi only.  They tend to teach only a limited number of things which only deals with their cognitive domain where on the other end, teachers deal with cognitive, affective and psycho motor domain. They develop us to be a complete and exact human being.

It is observed that many a time people see the achievements of teachers on the basis of their academic achievements in grades but there are very few who look at their high level of character and these things can only be seen in teachers not in tutors.

Teachers are having a committed set of approach and they love their professon from the bottom of their heart where on the other hand tutors' ultimate concern is money.

Those who think that a tutor can guide their students appropriately also tend to adopt a confine perspective as they aren't aware about child psychology and pedagogy. They are just a master in their own area of subject matter. Except it they don't require any specific professional qualification.

Moreover, a tutor is not having a compassionate heart which is the utmost requirement for the life long learning.

Thus it is quite crystal clear to us that a Teacher can't be replaced with a tutor because teacher is a friend, philosopher and guide on the other hand a tutor is just a commercial agent who only want to earn the maximum profit.

Thank you
