Our school banned Spotify 2 years ago and ever since kids have had to find alternative methods of listening to music. Such as, Scratch and Pandora. None of them as good as Spotify though. Listening to music helps us children and some adults don't understand that. So here I am trying to get it back after 2 years of being without it. 

"Studies have revealed that listening to music leads to positive changes in mood, as well as increased creativity. In fact, in "music-listening work cultures," which students are certainly part of, there's actually a psychological withdrawal when the musical stimulus is taken away."

Students talk!

"Spotify helped me complete my work faster because listening to music increases my work effort. It really makes me sad that I am unable to listen to music anymore." -Anonymous

If FCPS were to unblock Spotify, students all across the county would be able to relax and do their work. Blocking it has caused more problems than it solves, and it needs to be fixed.
