text: Often in the classroom environment, there are a lot of things going on that are distractions. Classmates and technology are just naming a few of them. Live distractions make it even harder for students to focus and concentrate on their classwork. For example, when I have a class with a friend, I often tend to talk to them way more than I should and also be less focused on doing my work. Getting distracted by friends when I should be doing my work definitely makes me more unprepared for tests and makes my work very unpolished. Being able to listen to a teacher lecture and do the classwork from home makes it easier to focus and produce quality work.
