text: Within a school, there are many things that distract students from learning. One of these distractions could be talkative and noisy students. With the constant talking of fellow students, it makes it hard for others to learn. An example of this could be the placement of classrooms. This year, my history class is right next to the economics class, which participates in many hyper and loud activities that can easily be heard through the walls. My mind is very curious and I find it quite hard to focus on my class when I am unaware of events going on around me. I am eager to learn, but other students may be very distracting at many points of the school day. A school wide distraction is a different thing. Although they keep the school safe in emergencies, safety drills interrupt the day and make going back to work a hassle. After most fire drills, the class becomes rowdy and loses focus, making the teacher struggle to continue on with the daily lesson. This not only distracts the students, but the staff as well. Safety drills interrupt the flow of the day an d make it harder to continue learning afterwards. Another point that distract most students is drama. Depending on what happened, students will start to think about what is going on around them instead of learning. A distance learning approach from this point of view would probably be the best way for students to not get pulled into others business and keep their mind focused on their education. Home based education would eliminate almost all in-school distractions, making the students receive an all around better experience and education.
