Often time’s college students feel that since they are paying for school they have the right to miss class. True students are paying for class but that does not give them the right to miss class. Yes you are paying for your education and you should be able to miss class whenever you would like too. It’s the student and their parent’s money and they should be able to waste it however they want. Some students feel that they pay a teacher to come to class everyday and that if that…
It is a well-known fact in today’s world that a large percentage of students in college are failing their classes due to the fact that many of them are not worried about making good grades. In Amy Widner’s essay “The Pursuit of Just Getting by,” she shared her opinion about students that think it is cool to not try. “We are not fooling anybody but ourselves.” –Amy Widner. She addresses this issue as well as the ramifications for “practicing” bad habits in college. She goes on explaining the importance of a hard work ethic, skills, and most importantly knowledge. She believes that every student should make the most out of their education by doing all of the work they are assigned, and doing everything to the best of their abilities. Amy later explains since students are paying so much for a college education they should be pursuing…
Today, many students like myself all over the America have walked down the hectic aisles of high school and have sat in some of the largest lecture halls in college. As kids, we were somewhat taught that going to school and getting an education would be the key to our success and thought that if we didn’t fulfill these expectations, we would end up homeless and live a terrible life. For so many years during my educational career this was the mentality that I believed in. Although this may be over exaggerated, I believe that this may hold some truth to the many college students all over the world. It is almost like we volunteer to go into debt and deal with all the stress that a college education brings us because we feel like it will get us…

Moreover, some students find that the money they earn while working becomes a goal. Although these students are good in their education, they want to work and earn money for their living. It is always difficult to do two things simultaneously. They may think, “What’s the use of studies when I am earning money?” From that point, they pay a very little attention towards studies and give more importance to their job. For example, they don’t attend classes; instead they go and work for money resulting into bad grades. These students are likely to quit college due to the stress of maintaining full-time employment and keeping up with their academic assignments.…
We all know how important it is not to miss class. Missing one class in junior high or high school can create hardships for the students in future classes, as depending on what was taught that day could really make a student fall behind if they missed the information. At most schools, there is no limit to the amount of days you can miss in a semester, as long as you make up the work from when you are absent, and pass your tests, you will pass the course. Missing school days not only makes the student fall behind in class but it make the student more prone to miss more school days, since they have done it in the past and was able to make up the work and have no real repercussions.…
“Many factors affect a given student’s motivation to work and to learn (Davis).” These factors can include: how can they apply this to real world situations, the interests they have in the subject, or is the student too distracted by others things like friends. Students need to realize how education can benefit them. At a young age, they don’t see it helps them in the long run. To hook students into learning, financial incentives can be the key. All students need is just a little boost of motivation to get them started. Once started, students can get started on their track to success.…
There is an absence of effort put forth by many of today's students. They seem quite lackadaisical and have no discipline when it comes to their studies. Continual failure is often a prescription for tremendous overload and stress. It tends to amount to the self-fulfilling prophecy of dropping out; which may feel like their only escape.…

In society today students in general become lazier and procrastinate more than they have in the past. This laziness could cause the student to fail a course, and perhaps not graduate.

Another reason why students don't finish high school is because they fail the course. Sometimes students have problems with some subjects, especially Mathematics and English, so they fail the subject and as a consequence the whole course. They have the opportunity of taking the course again, but they prefer not to do it. I think students who don't want to study. As a result, they prefer working in easy jobs where they don't need to think.…
