Did you know that animals get harmed everyday by students dropping, throwing, and under feeding them? It’s true, and kids with a classroom pet can actually get really sick by diseases that the animal might have. People say having a pet is a big responsibility. Well their right, some kids can’t take the responsibility. A couple of ways why you shouldn’t have pets in the classroom is that kids don’t have the responsibility yet and that kids have that ‘step on the bug’ mentality.

One of my reasons that we shouldn’t have pets in the classroom is because kids don’t have the responsibility yet. Some kids will accidentally drop the animal, they might throw the animal, and kids will under feed them so much that they could literally starve to death.
