College kids entitled...naaahh

If college kids didn't think they were entitled to something because they "tried hard", they'd be the only Americans who weren't.

Prof. Marshall Grossman has come to expect complaints whenever he returns graded papers in his English classes at the University of Maryland.

“Many students come in with the conviction that they’ve worked hard and deserve a higher mark,” Professor Grossman said. “Some assert that they have never gotten a grade as low as this before.”

He attributes those complaints to his students’ sense of entitlement.

“I tell my classes that if they just do what they are supposed to do and meet the standard requirements, that they will earn a C,” he said. “That is the default grade. They see the default grade as an A.”

A recent study by researchers at the University of California, Irvine, found that a third of students surveyed said that they expected B’s just for attending lectures, and 40 percent said they deserved a B for completing the required reading.

What in the hell do you expect when we're afraid to score Junior's soccer games for fear he might be upset for getting his ass kicked? Or trophies for everyone? Or free mortgage payments? Or digital TV?

Are you kidding me?
