With the release of the new video games many students have found yet another excuse to procrastinate from their school work.<\/p>\n
Students like sophomore, Brock Hinerman find these games fun, but they can prove too tempting to put down when there is homework to be done.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Sometime I just don’t feel like doing any homework, especially when I am in the middle of a mission or right at the end of the game” said Hinerman.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sophomore Caleb Cain also finds himself struggling to put down the controller.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I use video games to help me relax from my stressful days and sometimes I just can’t make myself break away to go do more hard work. I’d much rather blow up a building or kill some terrorist”, said Cain.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Students aren’t the only ones who find procrastination to be a problem.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Teachers also have to deal with this issue. Teachers like Heath Carpenter who have said that he has several students each semester who struggle with procrastination a little more than others.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It doesn’t help that I teach writing” said Carpenter. “Writing is just something some students don’t enjoy; it can be hard for them to get started “.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Carpenter explains that because he teaches classes categorized as general education, the class as a priority can sometime fall a little below the ladder to some students.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But at times a student will come forward after having started an assignment a little too late or not at all and when apologizing just say; “it’s my bad” quotes Carpenter.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although these new video games may be creating new problems for certain students, the temptation to play doesn’t affect everyone.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Freshman Wade Porter says that he doesn’t even play that many video games and doesn’t have a problem with procrastination.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I don’t understand spending hours upon hours in front of a television and certainly don’t understand playing those games when you have work to do, It’s totally irresponsible”, said Porter.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Even with the new video games out teachers like Carpenter must hope that more students have a mindset like Porter’s.<\/p>\n
