“Students cannot resist distraction for two minutes...and neither can you.” I read it carefully and came across a few quotes. “People interrupted by technology perform 20% lower on a standard cognitive test” (by 1 Sullivan). This is a big problem in today's schools, many students have technology. Students at school tend to check their phones every 3 minutes on average. This is extreme, how can students learn and analyze the problems presented to them if they are so often distracted? They can't do it, which is why the average child distracted by their cell phone scores twenty points lower on a standardized test. Many students try to multitask on social media and other distracting activities, but most of the time it still doesn't work. To summarize a paragraph I read; multitasking does not exist, you cannot do two things at the same time with the same amount of time. In this case, your brain does short studies on one task, then switches to the other, then back again. In the meantime, you're losing the knowledge you just gained trying to master the other task you're trying to accomplish. In this case, with teenagers at school, they waste their time on the homework assigned to them and concentrate too much energy.
