Sad but true. Through college, I took many classes of all types (my degree required an extensive base education before you even took the first major course) and I'd say that overall, about 15-20% of students in college care about what the professor has to say, learning anything from the class, or using what they learned in the real world. The other 80-85% are there to cheat, say how bad the professor is, and complain about classwork. These 85% are the same people who trash talk the teachers and say how boring the class was afterwards after the professor just gave everyone a free letter grade on an exam and discussed a topic that is genuinely useful to the class. If anything, college showed me how many people in the world simply don't deserve college and shouldn't be paid what they are.
