A student decides she needs a decent grade after blowing off the semester. Teachers love this student.

When it comes to the end of the school year, grading finals and research papers can be miserable enough. The inevitable student that pulls in after a 2 month bender in Slacker City makes a professor like me want to stab myself in the brain.

Teachers can relate. If you can't, you will soon. Students are better off to just walk in and say, "I blew it. Can we fix this at all." Save the stories. Spare the excuses.

The US public ...
The US public education system is a failure. Why do the kids put no effort into learning anything?? It's because the methods of teaching are fundamentally flawed. It's not about learning, it never was, it's only about regurgitating facts? in order to pass a test, and then ultimately going to college. The grade is more important then actually understanding and applying the information to real life. Many classes in the public schools are pointless, no wonder kids don't care. The system is flawed.

If you only think ...
If you only think in black and white, then just don't ever go to law school. You really need to be able to see all? sides of an issue.

I'm a very ...
I'm a very successful full time student at an accredited university in Alabama. I am on a full academic scholarship, and it is such "black and white" thinking that has allowed me to be successful throughout my academic career. Yes, there are bad teachers out there, but that does not place the responsibility of the student's success? on the teacher. I hate seeing teachers get blamed for mediocre work ethic displayed by many students today.

That's really " ...
That's really "black or white" thinking. The truth is, sometimes there are problems with the professor. Its not always the student.?

I disagree. It is ...
I disagree. It is the student's responsibility to do? well. Period.

I think in some way,? the teacher has been a failure as well.

One class? I was in ...
One class? I was in a kid was just like "yo im f**king lazy"

We all do, but ...
We all do, but that's why this video was made... Students will have these sorts of discussions at the end of the semester instead of working something? out. It raises an eyebrow on so many levels because it's still their responsibility to work something out if special circumstances exist; since the teacher is taking care of hundreds of students it's the student's job to make personal contact. If the teacher makes this difficult then we can say the teacher is bad. But not before.

Honestly, I got ...
Honestly, I got sick for a month last semester (like, seriously sick. I had an ulcer, and for three weeks, it felt like someone was stabbing me with a dagger.), and I ended up with a ridiculously low GPA. And I blamed myself, even though it was technically because I was seriously sick. (I swear, if I ever miss a day again, it'll be because I'm dead.) I hate people who try to cast the blame on everyone else in the? world.

The biggest excuse ...
The biggest excuse I've heard is "I didn't? know"... The student could have asked their classmates, e-mail their professors, or look at their syllabus. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Hilarious! My son ...
Hilarious! My son is a first year university student and in one of his courses, the prof was handing back tests and all the failures had McDonald's and Wendy's job? application forms stapled to them.....f**king brilliant!
