text: Public school is a very distractive enviroment. Most students have a hard time staying focused with all the extra distractions like bullying, drama, and relationships. Thoughout my time in public school, I have often refused to go to school for a period of time because of these distractions. We are often getting told " You come to school to learn' or "dont care what your peers think". It is unrealistic to put children and teens in a building for almost 7 hours a day and expect them to focus stricly in school and not build friendships or drama with other children.
