Blog 7 - A Late November

Partly because of a blocked mind, I am turning this blog in as a late November blog. As title real estate was taken, the subject of this blog is Excuses.

So, you've heard this a million times, excuses are bad. Most of the excuses people come up with are not only faulty, but do they take more time to formulate than the assignment would in the first place.

(Yes, I may have contradicted myself by saying this, as I did have quite the pathetic excuse to start of the blog, but why would I do the blog at all if I didn't care?)

Back to the main subject - why do people make excuses? I think excuses are a simple procrastination, as most people have a fear of failure. By making excusing they have a slim chance of diverting their path out of the way of failure, but I think that people should just take the lose instead of evading.

So, how do we stop this? I think that most obvious answer is for people to simply do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, but that is not going to work for a number of reason's. First off, if that was a liable solution then there would be no issue's because everyone would do it, but then this paper would never of been written.

How do we fix the overwhelming issue of 'excuses' invading the clean minds of high schoolers around the nation? Enforcement. People are softening things up so much these days, and making life so easy for everybody, that this generation wont be able to survive on its own. If you look at your own parents, who grew up before things became so cradled, they turned out quite well. Enforce anti-procrastination and excuse rules, and stop letting kids get off so easy.  I'll tell you right now, if there was a legitimate consequence for me not doing this paper in November, such as tings that happened 40 years ago. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE. No, I'm not saying beat students, just enforce the wonderful rules you have created. Human beings won't get any weaker from some punishment; If anything it will help the next generation.
