It’s true. Students are not studying nearly as much as they once used to.

That's because school is boring.

Our education system does little aside from torturing kids and picking their pockets.

If you find school boring, then you shouldn’t be there.

Many people find tremendous mental stimulation and challenge in learning in college and truly enjoy lifelong learning after classes. My daughter is taking Organic Chemistry this summer and was telling me yesterday how much she enjoys the class and especially using the equipment in the lab. All the pieces of her undergrad career are coming together and she is very enthused about it. I was very happy for her and proud of her.

College is like a game. Also some professors and teachers are just horrible at teaching as well. Learning should also be a joy as well as a discipline but some of these universities chew up the students and take their money.
Of course if the student like to party too much and is slack with studying they are mostly to blame. For those going to school fulltime and working a job with too many hours then studying time will suffer.
