WOW.. Grading sucks

Grading papers sucks sooooo much! It would help if more of my students were decent writers, and of they cared. Right now I have students who haven't tried all semester asking for help to catch up, and some students who just haven't been in class since conferences. I really don't know what to do about it. It frustrating! sooooo frustrating! I wish that students could just understand that they are paying 1,000's of dollars to get an education and the least they could do is show up to class and try not to waste $! I don't know how to get it through their heads! The few students that are actually trying are like a breath of fresh air. I guess I don't know what to do. They don't understand how much we really do care. Maybe its just a first year's teacher issue, and I haven't learned to quite caring yet. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to deal with it.
