Yes, yes, and yes, lack of motivation, accountability, the age of entitlement is rapidly growing section of our population.
How do I handle it?
I do my very best to engage with each of my students on a daily basis. I try to learn all of their names by day two, this way I can address them by name in a professional matter. I do not think this happens outside of the class, meaning more people say hey buddie or you. This is not very motivating, calling someone by name means you recongnize them as an individual.
