Stop wasting your time - Opinion

The students who do want to thrive will find a way to grin and bear it. Also, I find it funny when people complain about the instructor's "inability" to teach, because learning is not something that can be spoonfed to you by a sole person standing in the front of the classroom. It takes some dedication and interest on the student's part to learn something. God forbid these people would ever have to crack open a book, but that might be a good starting point for retaining some of the material that's taught in class.
