Because it helps to denote a deep introspectiveness that the industry loves to pander.

[quote=BlackWingBlade]It creates greater opportunity for situations to occur like something appearing from the window, the teacher calling out to the student daydreaming or to avoid the attention of the whole class when characters interact with one another. Also, camera angles focused on the character can be viewed via the exterior window thus making them seem more important than other characters in the anime.[/quote]

Because it's easier to draw that one character. If the character is in the middle, it would be hard drawing the characters around him/her.

Have you ever watched Tonari no Seki Kun? I bet characters secretly slack off like he does.

Easier to see their face reflected off the sunlight, I suppose. :I

Gotta have those edgy and brooding undertones.

so they can explain the baby the heroine is pregnant with because of all the stuff they do together in off scenes at the back of the classroom.

So he can day dream while looking off into the distance. It's just a way to make a classroom scene look more interesting when the character is left to his/her thoughts and that's what the author wants to focus on.
