text: Technology is more of a distraction to students than anything. Students who are sitting in school forced to do work can barely concentrate and get all their work done. How is having a student at home with their computer going to be any more effective? It would be so easy to get distracted and not complete the work given. By just the click of a button a whole new world awaits. Not only is technology a distraction, but it makes cheating so easy for students. If students who are required to be at school and monitored by school staff skip school, how are people going to make sure students at home behind a screen are not skipping their school work? While at home, people also have so many better things they would rather be doing than study online. The high levels of distraction and immediate accessibility to outside sources lead to skewed academic results, and prove that the implementation of video calls and online learning are ineffective.
