Why do students cut classes so frequently? I can cite the immediate causes ,but I first want to note that they can cut because they are allowed to. They cut because of the climate of acceptance that comes from our belief that responsibility can be developed only when one is free, free even to act against personal best interests. That this is a misapplied belief in this case can be easily demonstrated. When substantial numbers of students do not attend, classroom learning is depreciated, the morale of both students and teacher suffers, and academic standards are compromised (受损). Students who miss classes unnecessarily are hurting more than themselves. They are undermining what colleges and universities are all about.
Students cut for two main reasons. They have things to do that appear more important than the class, or they wish to avoid what they fear will be painful consequences if they attend. In regard to the first, nursing ’an illness or attending family weddings are good excuses for missing a class. But other excuses-- the demands of outside jobs, social engagements (including recovering from the hangover) ,completing assignments for other courses- are, at best ,questionable.
The other main reason is more disturbing and perhaps less well recognized. Once, I asked several classes what they most disliked about the way courses are taught, and the answer was plain--anything that produced sustained tension or anxiety, I believe cutting has something to do with this kind of aversion. Cutting class is a form of students’ protest against a certain teaching style or professional inadequacy. This kind of response feeds on itself, as frequent absences make attending even more threatening.
But what accounts for frequent cutting where the teacher tries to make the material interesting, knows the students by name, and approaches them with respect and help.* I simply tell my students: attend my classes regularly or drop the course. That is the rule.
What is the result of the students’ frequent cutting?
