Have a freshman in one of my groups right now who not only shouldn’t be in this class, the student shouldn’t be in a university period. Their capacity versus the other 4 members of the group is night and day. Worst of all, the student is a lazy jerk who’s taking advantage of the fact we will pick up the slack. We’ve had three group meetings and the student has strolled in late to all and played on their phone literally the entire time. Snapchat and social media sports pages, some with the sound on.
I have no issue with the school giving low SES students a chance but why isn’t someone coaching them to have a mature appearance, good hygiene, show up on time, be a good person? We all took time out of our schedule to help bring the student up to speed and the student clearly could not care less. This student is stuck in immature middle school mentality.
