I have a problem with blaming students for a poor educational system. They only get what they are given, as far as training/education. I know my daughter works from the time she gets home, until the time she goes to bed, and a lot of that time is learning what she should have been taught in class, so that she can do the homework assigned. "What did they do in class time?", you might ask. Well they were busy going over the End Of Grade test strategies ad nauseum and never got around to teaching the courses. It happens a lot. And I do have some empathy for parents who are overworked, if they are lucky enough to have a job, and don't have as much time to spend with the kids as they would like, to encourage them to work on school assignments.
There are many problems with this country, and laziness is but one of them. We expect too much for what little we do. I include the rich here, as their expectations of ROI are completely unrealistic, and have caused much of the recent economic upheaval.
