Well, I think this is just my personality, but I don't really like sitting still for long if I'm not doing anything fun, like taking a test of listening to something a teacher is saying. I can sit still for alot longer if I'm listening to music or something and it helps me stay concentrated, so it kind of keeps me on task and I work better that way. |
but its a school, they have to tailor it for it to be effective to everyone, not just 1 person. |

Yeah, but if they let you have things like head phones on, other people can't hear it and it all ends up ok. I think more people work better with some kind of music them without music. Alot of things about the school system don't work for other people. I think some aspects are better for visual learners, and others are better for auditory, so yeah it's not exactly perfect in the first place. |

you can def hear headphones..... not only that but what about class participation... id be a pain for the teafher to ask everyone to put away their ipods...
wait till you get to college, then u can do whatever you want in class. even go drunk, high, tripping, sleeping, listneing to music, eating a burger, in pj's or dead. |

Yeah, I've heard that college kicks somer serious ass. I guess even if I get alot of homework, it wont be as bad if it's alot more fun. |

in high school I've never had to do homework (except for maths where it was dangerous, because I almost have failed in it a few times...almost!!!)
but in English for example...the teacher started giving little marks for homeworks...once you got 5 she gave you an E for homeworks and counted it for your final mark.
Once she realized, she won't force me to do homeworks anyway, she stopped this system.
Muchly the same in german lessons, Literature lessons and many others including basics of law etc. |

soooooooooo basically you're every kid in high school ever?
learn to do it without music, so you can do it with or without
if you rely on it and claim you work better with it, its a crutch, nothing more. |

| Nah, it just keeps me occupied. I can work fine without it, but just not for quite as long I don't think. |

Actually, I'm really good at multi tasking. |
No one is better at multi-tasking than doing one thing. Period.
As for college, yeah, you can go to class however the hell you want. Then again, you have 500X the amount of work to do. Get used to doing some now, or you'll be screwed. |

Lol, thanks for not being an about it like alot of people were, but I'm already kind of iffy about college just because of all the work you wuold have to do. I really want to get a degree but I haven't really ever been big on doing alot of homework. If it's fun homework (creative writing or things that arent too repetetive) I'm fine with it, but if it's just the same thing over and over and over like busy work, then it drives me crazy. |

i'd say try now to work and study without music or anything because later when u'll get a job what is it's forbidden at ur job's place to listen music or whatever?
it will be harder for u to take the habit to concentrate for a long time or focuse more intensely
then about subjects like history or geography or philosophy all these subjects help you getting a general knowledge about things ....so it might not interest you a lot but just remenber these things u are learning in HS are the basics stuffs which will be useful for your further education
good luck |

The busy work goes from about 90% of your homework to about 10%. Say goodbye to worksheets forever. |
