The Army of Skipping Classes

It is not hard to see that the university’sclass only has a few students attending to the course. As a Chinese student, wealways follow the strict attendance rules from kindergarten to high school. Butnot in university, the attendance rule is only a very light supervisory touch.What’s more, most university students do not care their course like the olddays, as long as they will not fail the course, class doesn't mean so much tothem.

在大學看到教室只有少數的學生在上課并不難。作為一個中國學生，我們從幼兒園到高中都嚴格遵守出勤準則。但是在大學，出勤規定的監管并不嚴格。還有，許多大學生不像以前那樣那么在乎課程，只要他們不掛科，去不去上課并不重要。

Ithink it is time for the skip army to stop doing this. First of all, almost allthe students spend the money to go to university from their parents, the feeand the living expense could be 5000 to 20000 per year. Which means moststudents did not treasure the chance to receive the higher education, insteadof playing computer in dormitory or somewhere else. What’s worse, the rebels failto achieve their parent’s expectations even though they did not fail thecourse.

我認為逃課大軍不該在這樣做了。第一，許多學生都是用父母的錢上的大學，學費和生活花費從5000-20000每年不等。這意味著大多數學生都不珍惜這個獲得高等教育的機會，而是在宿舍玩電腦或者在其他地方玩。更糟糕的是，這些逃課的學生辜負了父母的期望，盡管他們沒有掛科。

Second of all, the rebels will make the teachers feel pathetic abouttheir teaching career. Teacher call the roll and if one miss too muchattendance would fail the course, but this way doesn't work that much. Someteacher even thought that it is their fault to cause this situation, they blamethemselves that they are not good enough to teaching so that the students don’tlike to attend to their class. This is really a tragedy that they think of thisway. The teacher didn’t know that some students skip classes because oflaziness.

第二，逃課學生會讓老師覺得他們的教育生涯很悲劇。老師點名，如果缺課多的人就會掛科，但是這招也不怎么管用了。有些老師甚至認為出現這種情況是他們的錯，他們責備自己，認為他們教的不好，所以學生才不愛來上課。他們這么想才是真正的悲劇。這些老師不知道大部分學生逃課僅僅只是因為懶惰。

Allin all, everyone skips now and then, but don’t make it a habit. We shouldtreasure the chance to study knowledge and show some respect to the hard workof teacher.

總而言之，每個人偶爾都會逃課，但是不要把這個變成習慣。我們應該珍惜學習知識的機會，還有尊重老師的辛勤工作。
