They are calm and attentive to what they are reading and it really helps them to stay focused. I have been doing this for years and it works!!

I do know when I let my academically at-risk high school students listen to music they actually do the work instead of just sitting around getting into mischief or falling asleep.. My aim is to get my students to do enough work to start succeeding in school instead of failing and dropping out. My students tell me they wish more teachers would let them listen to their music while they work. I must mention that some of my students have told me they cannot work with music. I have noticed that these are kids who play instruments themselves. They get too into the music. We've had a conversation about this in class. I give my students a choice and they appreciate it. I do not play music softly in the background for the class to hear. My student don't like that. Many of my student cannot do self paced work at the computer. They hate it because they like having a teacher and fellow classmates to interact with in a regular class. Of course there are all kinds of students. I can only speak to the ones that I support in my spec. ed. class and math class. Paul,

Some programs allow students to bring in cell phones and mp3 players while attempting self paced work, is there any research to substantiate allowing these distractions? Control group: Students who are ADHD, at-risk between 16 and 21 who are below grade level and 10-15 credits shy of graduation-attempting to complete self paced assignments. APEX LEARNING OR PLATO SOFTWARE.
