students are not serious?

I definitely agree. There are so many distractions now-a-days that keeps students from focusing on school works. As more distractions arise, studying seems to get more boring, therefore convincing students to do more fun things than study. Since this century is filled with technology and easily connecting with friends, studying seems too boring now.

I don't think it's a matter of being serious or not. I think what matters is the focus that they give. You see, if you are overly serious, you're not going to enjoy your life. However, if you give enough attention or focus per subject, you won't need to spend the whole day studying. I think there's a lack of focus due to the types of distractions around. From the internet, to television, gadgets and etc. I think if we could help control addiction with these things, then perhaps kids would have more time studying or more focus even in class.

I do not believe that students today are as interested in their studies as they should be. There are so many distractions that cause them to loose interest and they are the moment not concentrating harder on such an important are of their lives.

not all are not serious about studying, i believe. yeah, it's true that some just goes to school because of dumb and crazy reasons but we can't judge easily and generalize. but some even stops schooling though they have money to continue and pay fees because they are not serious about it. still, we can't generalize.

I think some students now have too much going on to really be serious about their studies. At least to them that's how it feels like. They have too many other things that distract them, and they let it. I think it has something to do with their priorities now, and the incentives they get from studying. Some students don't think too much of their studies because maybe they already have jobs and they feel secured enough. Others rely too much on their parents who spoiled them. But I know that there are also other students who want to graduate and get a job so they can help out their parents or family.

i guess, the students of today know how to manage all. i'm really surprised the way they handle every thing. good that they have the skill and intelligence to do so. the distractions are many, some may falter and some get over them. its good to be able to do everything you want to do. how many times have you felt, that you havent enjoyed your student days and that you were bogged down with books all the time. i think, its time, we appreciate the adeptness of the new generation.

I don't believe in that students are not serious in their study. I think this is the time of competitions so every student takes their interest in their study. Because they never want to behind from anybody. So always they try to hard working. And also mostly time they get results of it.

I have never ever studied more than one night for an exam. I think that's a bit excessive to do. Students need balance in their lives and it shouldn't just be work all the time. You'd get too burned out. Relaxing is necessary. I don't think there has been a big shift in students' focus however. I think students are still serious about their studies. They may just spend more time on classes before the exam so a brief overview of material is all they need before the exam.
