Laziness

I can't stand a lazy, sluggard. I have this one student who is extremely lazy. It is ridiculous. Everytime an assignment is given, the student wants to know how many points is the assignment worth. Never, what will I learn from this, but what is the point value. This student did not complete to an essay which was part of the requirement to be considered for the National Honor Society. It was too much to do (this is what the student said). I guess being in such an organization is not important enough to complete the assignment. (Oh, this student always tells me that college is definitely in the future.)
