Kidz+these+Days

I am surprised at the majority of students today. It was almost six years ago when i graduated from high school and have no idea where the attitude came from. The "I dont care" attitude. In my two freshmen world history classes every student started off with a 100% before mid-quarter half of them are failing their class for the single reason that they dont do their work. Most of the assignments given to them can always be completed in class but some of them just sit there and willing refuse to do the work. My mentor teacher and I have talked to these students and try to help them but they really dont care. Maybe its because they are freshmen but still why skip the oppertunity for extra credit when we give it to them daily. Extra credit alone could bring them up to a passing grade.
