Very well said! I agree with you that some students don't care. In a K-8 level, I had students before that didn't care but it's because of lack of parental supervision at home. They did whatever they wanted: TV, IM's, games, while their homework remained untouched. Hopefully, these kinds of students reach you at the college level and change their attitude for their own good. Hi Danielle! Very well said! I agree with you that some students don’t care.

It has been exasperating this semester dealing with all that you have listed here. I tend to call it the fall out from being 'the trophy generation' and having 'helicopter' parents. I just recently had a student complain to the Chair about me dropping them a grade at the end of the semester because they missed five classes from a 15 class course. Seems to me the grade drop takes into account the 'participation in class' percentage. Like you, I do not set my students up to fail. They know exactly what is expected of them. They just don't care. I'll get off my soap box now ;) If you don’t pull the trigger now, I will get them here on the college level. It has been exasperating this semester dealing with all that you have listed here.

This act will also inform the parents of their kid's standing. It will help parents deal with their child's problems in school.

Or any other person for that matter. When it comes down to it, people have to make decisions for themselves. Some will make the right decisions and some won't. Some people have to learn the hard way. That's a fact of life. Well, there’s only so much any one person can do. Or any other person for that matter. When it comes down to it, people have to make decisions for themselves.
