So apparently about half of my fellow students got a WAI for their 4 modules (8 assessments) last term, or were very late submitting them. Teachers ripped into the class about last assessment submissions, how this isn’t high school, and they won’t be chasing shit anymore. That this was pretty close to the worst the teachers had seen.
I’m just twiddling my thumbs, with my 8 passes and positive feedback, being like “doo doo doo” 👀
I don’t even understand how, they had so much class time to come in and get help lol. I even offered help and had a few people take me up on it, so I’m not sure how this happened.
I shouldn’t laugh at them, and I’m not really, but damn. Damn.
Maybe being a “mature-aged student” does help considerably with this sort of school work… 🤷🏼♀️
It’s actually wild tbh, I have no idea what HS is like and I imagine with the state of the world, the prevalence of social media, and a lack of care in their own education, and a lack of curiosity is driving it.
I have heard anecdotally, that HS students are generally really inattentive and rude in classrooms these days. I do wonder what will happen to them when they finish up and enter “the real world”. Will they still receive a pass? Or will reality provide them harsh truths? Will they take on the lessons and change, or double down?
That excel thing also blew the minds of my 50+yo coworkers and bosses at my last job. Millennials do be surrounded by some silly people, god.

lol. When I was mature age doing Ag. science I laughed at the kids who couldn’t read a grid system map. Had no shame about that.
Also putting an = in an excel cell was like magic to them.
I shouldn’t laugh either but it made me wonder what the fuck they were taught in HS.

Also partly they haven’t realised that the responsibility is fully on them or should be I reckon.
It must be that, but may not explain the mature ages students who done fucked up too 😂
