4. Propose a solution
Students should stop procrastinating and make a gradual transition into an efficient habit of turning work in on time. Students should get enough sleep and don't get a job where hours obstruct the students main priority, in this case, turning work in on time and succeeding in school. Students should try, if possible, to set some time aside afterschool at home to review materials covered in class so they can understand it before the deadline so if they have any questions, they can refer to the teacher on the next day. Students should listen to the teacher during class when they are covering materials because any time wasted might be the time needed for a student to comprehend the material. Teachers should set reasonable deadlines for work. A short deadline for a huge assignment will not work, students have other classes as well. Too long of a deadline is not good either, teachers should know that most students do not do it until the last minute. Teachers need to set a prominent and clear deadline that is rational and be strict with it, they can't keep on being lenient; they are just widening the gap. Overall, students should make a contributed effort to stay on top of their assignments and teachers should become more compromising yet unyielding on policies.
