A section of chapter six that caught my eye was the part where a student named Diana was discussing about how it was difficult for her to accomplish her homework at home. However, if she stays after school she can get her homework done with little issue. Diana suggests that it is difficult for many students to be motivated to do their homework in their home environment.
This portion caught my eye because what Diana says is very true amongst middle/high school students. It is difficult to expect students after a long day of learning to do more schoolwork because of how distracting their home environment can be. Homes are full of distractions like televison, video games and the internet which make getting work done very different. Even when a student is doing work on a computer they are frequently being distracted by instant massages from their friends. A good example of this is that in the time it took me to write this short response I had a conversation with four people over instant messenger.
