#students #attention #school
Some people argue that most
students
 have difficulty focusing on classes.
This
 essay will examine the main reasons for
this
 argument and possible solutions to it. Most of the
students
 wake up very early for their busy schedules and feel sleepy in the first classes at school which makes it really hard to focus on any subject.
Furthermore
, there are generally many long and sequential course sessions, with boring and unattractive formats in general, with little breaks in between, which disables the
students
 to recharge and energize herself/himself to get ready to learn new subjects.
For instance
, researchers published that teenagers' focus
time
 is only 16 minutes, after

 they got either distracted or bored. In that case, it does not make sense to hold up 40 mins sessions.
In addition
, technological
devices
such
 as tablets and smartphones are the top distractions, even one notification on the phone is enough to ruin the concentration of the
students
. A possible solution can be a new arrangement of the
time
 and content schedules at schools considering the new generations' challenges and advantages. Maybe arranging shorter sessions with more little breaks can help
students
 to concentrate better.
Besides
, the formats of the contents might be more fun with gamification and usage of more attractive visuals and experiments if applicable. Another solution could be prohibiting smart
devices
 throughout the learning
time
 which blocks the possibility of being disturbed by them when focused. In conclusion, the misarrangement of
time
 and content format and smart
devices
 can cause
students
 to lose their focus, even though rearrangement of the school days and prohibiting smart
devices
 can help the problem.
