My mom is a professor and the shit she tells me about her students is insane. I overheard a call she was having with a student and basically the student was offended that simply scheduling a call wasnt enough to unfail her paper. Basically "I called you to talk about it so I didn’t fail, right?
Or the fact that they expect to be able to just turn in things whenever they want irrespective of a deadline…and then get offended when told their paper either won’t be accepted at all or docked for each day late it was.
I’m a peer tutor (and also about fifteen years older than my “peers”), the sheer number of students that have scheduled appointments with me and then not shown up blows my mind. I even had one beg me to schedule with her on my off day, so I agreed, knowing she’s going to fail without someone to help her. And then she didn’t show up, or bother to text me that she wasn’t going to lol
It’s just one of those things that makes me wonder if it’s a generation gap, or if it’s specifically “covid teens” that have this behavior.
