1:1 Schools...How Effective are they?

The article talked about how teachers have to change their entire teaching mechanism because of their transition to 1:1 schools. Students showed, on average, that their grades were lower after the transition. I do believe that 1:1 schools are great for students, but only in limits. A student can be playing a game for the entire class without the teacher knowing, and this would harm their chances of learning. But then again, it is up to the student to make their own choices and whether or not they will value this time they have to learn. The article at the end says that teachers have access to what their students are doing on the technology and i totally disagree with that. We, the students, have the ability to play a game, take notes, or watch a video during class without the teacher knowing, but it is our personal choice.
