We need to start weeding out bad students
I find that over half of my time is taken up by explaining basic responsibility to unmotivated students who are just looking for a pass with minimum effort. The constant excuses and attempts to hustle for deadline extensions or deferred exams on flimsy pretenses are eating up the bulk of my time leaving me with less time for students who are actually there to learn.
Universities should have a school-wide registry of how many times each student requests extensions or deferrals, and expel them after a certain number has been reached across all their courses. Dealing with lazy, entitled, professional loafers is compromising the quality of the education we are offering to the students who are actually interested in scholarship.
