text: Less distractions will increase a student's focus. When a soccer player has to take a penalty kick if a game is tied, the crowd is not supposed to yell and scream so that the player can have a clear mind. With a clear mind, they are more able to complete their task. Often times, students do not have a clear mind in the classroom because of the other students. It does not matter if they are inside the room talking with their peers or outside the room walking down the hall, these other students will take someone's mind away from the task at hand. When kids are first learning how to drive, they are told to not listen to the radio or drive their friends as a way to limit distractions. They might not notice important road signs, turns, or other cars. Students need to have peace and quiet to give their schoolwork complete focus, just like driving. They could miss important information like instructions given by a teacher. Distractions created by the classroom lead to less concentration that could be increased by taking classes online.
