There are a billion things that educational institutions does not see as a reason as to which a student cannot continue learning and stay focused.
It’s not time management of lack of studies.
It’s the distractions that come with the difficulty of independence
The first step to becoming independent as an adult is not just about passing grades.
You should be honored to have students at your institution. Once they become sources of monetary motivation, you will fail as an institution. No one will create meaning or add value to society from lack thereof.
