My personal experience has also been that the students who don't understand the material never say anything, fall behind to the point where they just give up because it would take too much effort to remediate, and post Rick Sanchez "school isn't for smart people" quotes on Facebook with a high school diploma.
Yep.
A major problem that people don't understand with college is that it is far more willing to let you fail compared to high school. A lot of young adults aren't used to dealing in a environment that doesn't provide immediate negative feedback on failure or non-performance. They hit one hiccup, can't come back from it, then spiral out until they flunk out.
I'm in this picture and I don't like it
This seems pretty unfair. I definitely remember students going to office hours, attending study groups, working with tutors.
Yes, that’s not those people. I’ve been both of these people. Quiet and ashamed me had bad grades and disappointed teachers. When I went to office hours for some reason the teachers got way nicer when I screwed up, almost like they saw me putting in effort and were happy to teach me
