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.

Does watching TV while doing homework affect the time it takes to finish?

Doing homework while watching the television is multi-tasking, which splits the brain's focus and lowers efficiency. Furthermore this means that you are concentrating on two separate things, more likely to get distracted to the TV than homework because it is more enjoyable. Thus, this results in you getting distracted and exceeding the amount of time it takes until you have finished your homework. Since watching TV while doing your homework slows you down, do them separately. Do some of your homework, and then you can reward yourself with a brief break in which you can watch a little TV or call a friend. Then get back to doing your homework so that you can finish it and enjoy the rest of your evening.

How do you get rid of distractions while doing homework?

Students can easily get distracted from homework since there are so many potential distractions.To remove these distractions, you might need to:Turn off the TV, radio, and gaming consoles.Turn off your cell phone or put it on vibrate.Clear off your study area. The less cluttered your desk is, the fewer things that could distract you.Promise yourself that you can make a phone call or watch TV once you have completed some of your homework. It is easier to stay focused knowing that you will have time for other stuff later.Turn OFF the internet -- yes, the internet! -- because studies show that just having it on in the background of the computer distracts you!

How to tell your teacher i didn't do my homework?

"Teacher, I didn't do my homework. I know what you're thinking, 'that kid can be so irresponsible!' Please don't think bad of me. I would have done it, I swear! But I was walking down the road yesterday while reading Einstein's book of perfunctory economics, and I noticed these beautiful flowers. I had to make a choice. I knew if I took the time to do my homework then I wouldn't have time to pick those beautiful flowers for someone special to me. So, teacher, I didn't choose to do my homework... I chose YOU!" (at which point you hand her a bouquet of flowers). She'll be so flattered she won't be able to fail you!
