How do I pay more attention in class?

Question

I know I need to get more sleep and eat a well balanced breakfast, but even when I do that I find myself looking at the ceiling or the fish tank and I zone out. What is a way that I can stay alert and listen more intently?

Answer 1

My sister had this same problem when she was in school.

She snuck a pack of sour candy into her bag and sucked on them while the class droned on. If that doesn't work, try putting all your pens to the side if you aren't taking notes to aviod mindless doodling...that is my problem :/

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

It's mostlikly two things. One you're not interested in the class ,or two the teacher makes it boring. But you can stay in  the front row of the class.  

Answer 3

Its a good question. But i think there are few ways to find out.

First, when you say you need better food, more rest, ect... i have a question, if you feel like this most of the day, or just at school, in class. If so, means class has nothing to do with it. Maybe you need more vitamins and just more activities, to get yourself in shape :)

another things is, if you feel great out of school , just find it boring in the class, could be because of the subject and a teacher... Still dont know if it happnes in every class you take or just some particular. If some - natural, coz not every teacher is born to be a teacher, and makes difficulties for their students by not keeping them interested and active. If possibile, you can try to change a subjest...if not - ....

Hope - this helps!

Good luck!

i use to have the same problem. The academy i went to taught me that if i watching my teacher's eyes i will pay better attention. And if you look somewhere else you will lose concentration in school work.
