    I’ve just printed out the school supply list and I am confused as to the need for earphones for children through the 5th grade and then the switch to earbuds for middle school.
    * What do they connect to?
    * If they do not connect to anything (e.g., laptop), why are they needed?
    * How much of the day do they have to wear them?
    Thank you for any information you can provide – I am trying to gather the supplies needed by a family with an 8-year-old child I want to assist.
