Oh wait, it IS!
See I was really freaking wondering why there are so many completely irresponsible and whiny and eyerolly and huffy students in my sections this semester but then I remembered it's spring! Season of irresponsibility! Season of complete disregard for concern or worry about any school requirements! Season of countdown to summer so why should students put forth any effort at all! Honestly I think most higher educators will agree with me that while in the fall there are kind of two mini-periods of absolute useless why-am-I-wasting-my-breath time (the first month or so and then from about 1.5 weeks before Thanksgiving to the end of the semester), in spring semester we have pretty much a 3.5 month downhill slide. We start at a not very high place already in January and it gets worse from there, the momentum increasing by about 40% once spring break comes.
Do the math. Why don't college students learn anything? Because they're only really invested for about 2 months out of 9. At least I get paid no matter what.
