Wait you mean like you have time at school where you’re not being actively taught? At my school and in the uk in general (i think) that was never a thing for us, studying was something we were meant to do in our own time
Slovakia here. The school is kinda crap. 2 times each week the whole day is subject called “Professional training”, but we almost never do anything at all in there. Whole 2 days of nothing, I am being serious. It’s basically just for attendance, and even that just partially. If you arrive 4 hours late, the teacher will sign you off as if you were there the whole day.
I hope it changes this year. I hope.
Also, math teacher allows us to listen to music during exams. That was her idea, actually.
But we have also integrated the phones into the process. Teachers send us notes we’re meant to work with during classes, on our phones. Likewise we do exams on our phones. Adapt and overcome. This is already high school though. Only the first hear of high school is mandatory, now I am here because I want to study, not because I have to. I could leave anytime if I wished to do that.
Nearly half of my time in public school (depending on the class) was time spent independently working on things. Time that the only thing between me and completing a task was disregarding the various noises my classmates were making.
They just threw pencils and erasers at me if they needed me to listen. Most of what they were talking about was covered in the book so they just let me read it. The only exception was math.
Imagine getting dissaproval votes (or whatever we’re calling not downvotes) just for sharing a completely neutral retelling of something that happened to you lmao
Did you read the “during study time” part of the comment. I certainly don’t think student’s shpuld be listening to music when a teacher is actively teaching.
This has been an awakening to Lemmy’s philosophical and literate ideals.
During class. You made up “study time”. No one cares if your on your phone studying during “study time” in the library. But if someone is lecturing you shouldn’t be on your phone or have earbuds in.
Just do what I did in school and put an earphone down your sleeve. Rest head on hand. Listen to music. It’s not difficult, I got away with it in exams ffs (I dont recommend that last bit btw, that was young stupidity in hindsight)
Says the neurotypical teacher to the kid who can’t concentrate without music during study time.
How you going to hear what the teacher is saying when listening to music?

That seems like a far more reasonable idea to me. You can’t fight change. You have to adapt it to an achievable goal.

Turns out: even when you do pay attention, reading comprehension is tough. 😂
So it’s way harder if you don’t.
Right…
Not paying attention makes reading comprehension more tough than if you were to not pay attention. Not sure I’m following

Lots of Redditors recently joined it seems. And they aren’t known for being the smartest people who properly utilise the voting system.

Can you not pair Bluetooth earbuds to your school laptop?
Oh, so laptops are okay, but phones aren’t?
many schools provide laptops (such as Chromebooks) for studying and completing assignments
many entire generations of people did not have this luxury
Many generations of people didn’t have the luxury of an MRI machine. Are you going to deny people that because of it?
not a great comparison
It’s your argument.
I’m not arguing anything I made a statement

Your teachwrs were constantly talking during class? You beber had downtime in class?

You aren’t wrong, but I’m hoping for more institutional changes to the way we determine what helps the next generation learn.
