A couple things that help sophomore Steven Solmos focus in class are \u201clistening to music, or having the teacher be more friendly and entertaining. Music helps with focusing on projects or homework you are doing. The teacher’s attitude affects our view towards their class.\u201d Solmos believes that it is hard not to get distracted in class \u201c.. it\u2019s very hard not to when you have friends in the class or you have your phone with you.\u201d He thinks that the one thing that he is more focused in and is the easiest to be focused on at school is \u201cmath, I find it fun to finish and feel like you accomplished something. …everything is laid back and easy to understand, gives plenty of homework time.\u201d While he is in class, Solmos says that the thing that distracts him the most is his \u201cPhone, someone texts me and I mean I feel the need to respond.\u201d Solmos says he prefers a quiet room to focus better because \u201cI don’t have to deal with any loud noises or problems.\u201d Solmos believes that our school should \u201cRevert to using pencil and paper. That would make the student have focus on what to do. No excuse to why they need their computer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Freshman Abby Kraszyk says she prefers \u201cWorking by myself in a quiet area, with a plan.\u201d Kraszyk says she gets distracted a lot while in class \u00a0\u201cYes. I get distracted by the people surrounding me, and what’s going on outside of the classroom.\u201d Also one of the classes Kraszyk says is the easiest to focus on is \u201cSpanish class, because there aren’t many of my friends in that class.\u201d \u00a0Kraszyk says that one of the strategies she uses to help her focus is to \u201cCorner myself, and listen to music. She says that the computers are not the reason she does get distracted at school .\u201c I don’t get distracted by my freedom on this computer, because it’s mostly blocked. I also don’t have time to be messing around on my computer.\u201d Kraszyk says she does not know what she will do so that she can focus better in school \u201cwith everyone else around me.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Things that help sophomore Rachel Hilty focus in school is \u201cFood, because I’m always hungry.\u201d Hilty says that it is the easiest class to focus in is \u201cAdv Nutrition & Wellness.\u201d Some strategies that help her focus in school is \u201cBy bringing snacks to school.\u201d<\/p>\n
