Teachers, do you want your students to never pay attention in your classes due to one fixable issue? When you allow your students to have their cameras off, they are known to focus better. Cameras should be off during online classes because many students focus better when they are not worrying about what their own peers are thinking about their appearance. It is scientifically proven many times in Harvard studies and well as UC Davis studies that 9.5/10 students suffer due to harsh self images put into their heads by peers. Then proven at Stanford is that students continuously think about their own self image 93% of the day. Imagine having a mirror in front of you all day during classes. You then become obsessed with checking yourself every 3 minutes to make sure you look as perfect as possible. If a school day is typically around 6 hours (more or less) students end up looking at themselves over 10 times a day, even more. That's not even counting how LONG they look at themselves, different for every person. Your students will learn practically learn nothing if you force them to turn on their cameras. A good solution is to give them and option as to whether they have their cameras on and off.
P.S Can I get the brainliest for this? I feel like this was a really good answer.
