They would rather spend their time goofing off, and since they aren't responsible for their schooling, they given no reason not to. Well now you have stumbled onto the true source of the problem, which is the lack of short term ACCOUNTABILITY for their actions. Students are responsible for their schooling, behaviour, sexual choices, etc. We can'd directly force them to do any of that stuff. The problem is we delay the accountability for there actions (both good and bad) until 18 when we kick them out on the streets.

Trust me, if I came home with an F, got suspended from school or knocked up my gf at 14 accountability would be swift and exacting. Consequently I wouldn't do it again.

Guess whose job that is?
