Is there a link between Facebook and Low grades?

Studies have shown that there is a direct link between students who have low grades in college and Facebook. The results of the study taken at a San Diego College, found that students who use Facebook spend less time studying and have lower grade point averages than students who have not signed on the website.

“We can’t say that use of Facebook leads to lower grades and less studying – but we did find a relationship there,” said Aryn Karpinski, co-author of the study and a doctoral student in education at Ohio State University.

I personally think that Facebook has nothing to do with a students grades. If they were not signed up on Facebook then they would find some other way to spend there time. I think that Facebook can be a huge distraction at times but it's more about time management and priorities than anything else.
