| | Well, this has nothing to do with writing (is this my first post that doesn't? I think so), but I feel it's something I want to say. Even though no one shall read it.
It seems to me that there is this common misconception amongst schools, school teachers and school administrators, and anyone else who has an opinion about the study habits of teenagers, that music should not be played when they are studying or doing schoolwork. According to them, it is a distraction and will affect the quality of their work detrimentally.
I find the opposite to be true. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Whenever I play music, it helps me concentrate and puts me in a sort of "zone." Without it, I find things simply too boring and quiet, and get distracted more easily. So how did this idea that listening to music during homework is bad get started? I have no idea, but it irks me because, as with so many other things, they make this blanket statement for everyone and just assume that it is true. Thus, they tell us all not to listen to music when studying, they ban MP3s from our study halls and just generally lump us all under this "music will distract you" category. Annoying.
