the action of delaying or postponing something important with a less important thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s only ten questions, it\u2019s fine, i\u2019ll do it later.\u201d Ever been there? I bet you have, almost every person has procrastinated, not only students, even your teachers, and your parents! Us ,as humans, can\u2019t do everything at the time it\u2019s told, but sometimes we can and just choose not to, and do something more fun, like watch T.V. instead of doing the dishes. That is procrastination. \u201cNow where did i put that worksheet? I\u2019ll look for it after this episode.\u201d<\/p>\n

An overflow of people often get scolded if they play games before finishing \u00a0homework. Procrastination is usually looked at as a big con although it can help some people in more than one way. A lot of people work better under pressure, so putting of that ten page essay and being forced into an all-nighter will get some students a better grade and can even be their best work. But, don\u2019t mistake it for a good thing, it is still a problem, just as not as big as you think. Procrastination does carry heavy cons that make it seem as only negative. The biggest thing that people don\u2019t like about procrastination is that one time is all it takes to be good at it and you don\u2019t simply just never do something you are good at.<\/p>\n

From a student\u2019s point of view, 8th grader Mohamad Beydoun, he has mixed feelings on the topic. He explains why he delays work, \u201c\u2026almost every assignment because I feel like I do better under pressure.\u201d Mohamad also says that \u201c if I am is being monitored, I will get more distracted than usual\u201d. He sees procrastination as a keyhole to better work but\u2026 better work doesn\u2019t always mean on time, \u201cI feel the teacher should give late grades but not take away half the points.\u201d T.V. is one of the prime sources of distraction today, \u201cIf the T.V. is on then I will focus on that\u201d.<\/p>\n

One of the Unis MIddle school teachers, Mr.Shockey, has procrastinated before, all the way through college. He has also put off checking students work before, but he believes that he rather it be late and accurate. His view on late grades are that the lower grade is just an excuse for not doing it because they still get points, so late grades are zeros.<\/p>\n

High School is much tougher than middle school or elementary school, more work, harder work, and longer work, Kasem Chami 10th grader at Fordson, \u201ci usually play video games when I don\u2019t do work and I keep telling myself that I should get to work and finish\u201d \u00a0Math, science, history, language arts, these classes can be tough, for Kasem he finds the most trouble in chemistry,\u201dchemistry is a good class not too hard but not easy and i feel like i should do that class\u2019s work first but never do and it\u2019s making really hard for me to understand.\u201d Group assignments can be annoying when one person doesn\u2019t do their share of the work, \u201cit gets so frustrating when everyone but one or two people do their work while the others have A+ material.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others use procrastination as a getaway for better work while others get mad at themselves for not being focused. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, lifestyle and choices. People make procrastination apart of their daily lives without even knowing it and it becomes apart of them whether they like it or not. Procrastination is unavoidable.<\/p>\n
