Schools using microphones in classrooms.
The New York Times (3/16, A37, Hu) reported that, across the country, "school officials have embraced...microphones for mainstream classrooms, pointing to research suggesting that all children learn better when they hear instruction loud and clear." In Ohio, the state School Facilities Commission has even "require[d] all new buildings and renovations financed with state aid to be wired for amplification." In West Orange, New Jersey, the "district decided to require amplification after seeing the first-grade reading scores at one school, St. Cloud Elementary, skyrocket to 89 percent at or above grade level at the end of the 2003-4 academic year, from 59 percent before teachers started speaking into microphones." Testing coordinator Karen Tarnoff added, "The teachers and the curriculum remained the same, and nothing new was added other than the amplification system." However, "some teachers say that amplification is unnecessary -- and annoying -- in a small class setting, and some acoustics experts contend that it can actually make a noisy classroom worse."
