In recent years, many college instructors would agree that there has been a dramatic increase in students with entitled attitudes.

More than likely, you’ve struggled with students who expected academic success without taking personal responsibility for their own learning.

The presence of problematic attitudes in the classroom can be highly disruptive, so it’s important for you to be able to properly react to this type of behavior.
