From my experience Parsons does hold a valid point. Students primarily aren’t aware of the value and culture of education. They remain unprepared for test, cramming days before reminded and hold their own personal discussions during class time. As a freshman I’ve had first-hand experience of being in the presence of other students who miss class, text throughout lessons and intentionally distract others, I have even seen one of my colleagues attended class for five minutes and walk out. Majority of freshmen students are aware of the ‘no consequence’ lifestyle of university “They will not be sent to detention if they leave, if they are not interested” so they think of themselves as adults, who ironically act like kids, remaining oblivious to their time being put to waste.
