Thats not my job

I recently read a poem titled Thats not my job and it focused on an interesting fact that everyone comes across at some point in their life, either it be at work,  at school, or just around the house. This fact is that nobody wants to to a job that anyone can do because it is quick and easy yet nobody does it. This always leads to somebody getting blamed for this task not being completed. This problem can be fix by just doing what needs to be done right away, then it is done, everyone can relax and nobody gets blamed.

Bas-Ket

Bas-Ket is a game created by Cadaco in 1937. this game consist of 2 players using spring loaded levers in order to shoot the ping pong ball into the opponents hoop. This game was intended for children 5 and up and each game take on average a half hour to play. This action/sports game can be bought  on eBay for 10-25 dollars. They have no known website. Customer reviews say "he new game came with no instructions on how to play, or how to assemble the mechanism for shooting baskets"   others also said that they would not recommend this game to anyone with the highest rating of 2 stars out of 5. Some of the pro's and con's are that it is fun but very confusing set up with no instructions.

BYOT

Today a question arose to my attention and it got me thinking......."should students be allowed to use their personal devices in the classroom". This topic is very interesting because of all of the pro's and cons involved. Allowing this freedom in the classroom could either really help the students or totally destroy the classroom setting. My opinion is that they should not be allowed to use THEIR devices in school,with that said I also believe that the school or state should supply these devices. Now I am aware that not all schools have the funding or the means to acquire these devices, therefor the state should use some of the tax payer's money to get the devices need in the classroom. If a small amount of the money the tax's payers pay went to getting Tables and computers for the class, I believe that with the right restrictions these devices would not just be beneficial to the students but for the environment.
