Why The Student Skip Class?

All students have had hundreds of teachers in their lifetimes. A very few of these teachers they remember as being exceptionally good. What are the qualities that combine to create an excellent, memorable teacher? Why do some teachers inspire students to work three times harder than they normally would, while others inspire students to skip class? Why do students learn more from some teachers than others?


let me start saying, "I hate college".I have no idea. I just hate having to wake up so early in the morning {6 am} and having to go to college.i cant stand it! and i know you need the education for the future and study, but is all that time really necessary?? and oh my god, the lectures have the nerve to give you HOMEWORK!! are you kidding me! first day at college was boring. When i worry about college, it can affect my body. A student who feels stressed about college might have headaches or stomachaches. Disliking college is sometimes because of a problem with people. Sometimes it's a problem with my classes and schoolwork. Maybe the work is too easy and i get bored. Or maybe the work is too hard, or i don't feel as smart as the other people. Reading may be difficult for me, but i'm are expected to do a lot of it. i may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem like i'll never catch up. There are many reasons why i may dislike college a lot or a little, and finding out why may be an important part of solving the problem. Even though i may worry about college in my brain, it can put a lot of stress on my body. That's why many people who say they hate college get a lot of headaches. Some people who have too much stress have a hard time making decisions. In the morning, i can't decide what to eat, what to wear, or what to pack for lunch. Why bother with college, anyway? Here's the reason, an education is the way to get what i really want in life. Think about all the choices offered at college. Besides math, reading, and science, there's art, music, sports, and clubs. thats why the students to skip class??
