Poor preparation

There are a great deal of students not being prepared for their college classes, I don't think that this is a new concept for most students, I think that they are just fallowing a pattern that they started back in their first years of education. I also fined that student fined it to be sort of a game; they laugh and make comments to friends about how well they are doing in a class, even though they have never read any of the required material, or studied for a tests. I think that this cannot just be blamed on how lazy the youth of America is, but should also be blamed on their teachers. If teachers were more strict, and placed more penalties for not being prepared then students would have no choice but to be more prepared.
