It is very common to see that many school students have difficulty in concentrating at their academics. The reasons for this can be classified into external and internal, and in order to solve these effectively, each problem has to be addressed individually.

Turning to the external factors, which are thought to be distracting school students, the worst is the poor performance of teachers. To be precise, many teachers of today are inexperienced and they fail to understand whether or not his student is concentrating well in the classrooms. Another external factor which seems to be hindering with the academic performance of students is the over-freedom to use the technological gadgets like smartphones and tablets. It has to be understood that these gadgets are inevitable at least at some point of time during the class.

Turning to the internal factors, a typical school student faces numerous psychological and physical stresses. Unlike the past, there are newer subjects added in the curriculum, and many children find inadequacies at least in a couple of subjects. Likewise, many students are less healthy when compared to the past. It is now common to see a lot of obese children in the class. Moreover, nowadays most children attain puberty at an early age, and this too causes a lot of psychological stress.

When addressing these matters, teachers, parents and other responsible elders have almost an equal part in solving these issues. However, each has to identify their roles correctly and perform their best at the most appropriate time to make the result most effective.

To conclude, it is clear that the modern school children have both internal and external problems which disrupt them from concentrating in their classes. However, if each of this problem is not addressed timely by the appropriate person, the issue would become worse.
