A lot of kids think they can "multi-task" and watch TV while they work - this never turns out as well as they think it will. Your brain can't concentrate on two things at once, so if the TV is on, your mind is thinking about that instead of doing your work. There are no actual studies on this, so there are no numbers, but there are a lot of kids who could be making better grades if they'd turn off the TV and other distractions.

How many people watch tv while doing homework?

I don't, though many do.AnswerI do not know the percentage of people who watch TV whilst doing homework but I am sure it is quite high. I used to watch TV whilst doing homework but that was because there was no where else where I could sit down apart from the dining room table. Eventually we got a desk in a different room and within seconds I was using it and I didn't have to watch TV at the same time. It is difficult and is a time-waster as well as a distraction. Tip: DON'T DO IT! I don't know how many kids watch t.v. while doing their homework but about 23% of kids watch t.v.instead of doing their homework.

Life at imsa?

Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy only allows people with exceptional SAT or any other tests scores. The only problem: Teenagers often allow themselves to stay up to midnight doing homework, and they often do their homework with other people in the room with music playing. Avoid that... watch out for bad roommates!


Have computers increased homework speed?

It really depends on the student doing the homework. If the student can go on their computer and not listen to music, watch videos, or check email, then yes the computer does increase homework speed especially if they are writting and essay or biography. Otherwise, going on the computer to do homework is a waste of time becasue they could be doing anything... like looking on WikiAnswers for unanswered questions to answer. i.e. Me. that's what im doing... im also listening to music and chatting with friends on IM... but im still doing my homework... it's just taking a long time to do so.


What happens if you watch TV and do not do your homework?

One time: nothing really. Five times: you'll have to make it up. All the time: you might have to redo the grade. It will lower your overall GPA about 20% in most schools. The benefits of doing homework mainly center upon the linking of the activity in question to the storage media (brain). This then allows the brain to remember the activity and therefore increase the efficiency of the activity. For example maths homework for school age, is quite repetitive, by doing these repetitive exercises the brains ability to recognise the structure of the question and answer the question quickly is enhanced. So by not doing your homework you increase your chances of not being able to achive your best in exam or time constrained situations.
