text: Students would get less distracted at school than they would at home because they are too comfortable at home which leads to more distractions. For example, when my friend, Generic_Name, a junior in high school would get a lot of homework from his classes because he took a lot of AP and honor classes. But he would always push it off to the side because he got too distracted being on his phone or playing games. Eventually it all piled up, he was too far behind and had to put so many all-nighters just to make up for the time he wasted. Now he goes to his school library to study because he knows that he will be too distracted if he stays at home. This shows how at home students feel like they have all the time in the world and not feel like they anything to worry about. Making up excuses or procrastinating, this all can lead to students not getting a proper education they need. Another example that shows student would be more distracted at home is Oprah Winfrey. She was sexually assaulted when she was little by one of her male family members, multiple times. Her parents were constantly fighting at home and she didn't feel safe there. Instead of letting that ruin her life, she worked hard and became the first African American woman to have her own television show and the only one in her family to finish college. She went through such hardships and worked hard because she used school to put her mind somewhere else instead of at home. Without school, Oprah Winfrey wouldn't be who she is today, one of the richest and well-known people in the nation. School let her put herself first and not the problems at home first. School gives a place for students to come and learn and feel safe without the distractions of home.
