text: Having distractions can cause incomplete work, not handed in work, and lack of knowledge. While taking a test, you will never have to worry about any other students in the class. Other students could also be a major distraction in the school environment. Technology can sometimes be treated in bad conditions at public schools. Homes or libraries have way more advanced technology and hopefully good internet connection. Having your own technology is a great idea because it will not be touched by another student.
