If Only They'd do Their Work

Why don't students do their work?  Many people are quick to jump to the conclusion that it's because they don't know how or they're lazy.  But sometimes, students just don't have the time, space or motivation to do it.  I work with students who work at night or have care taking responsibilities for either a baby or another adult.  So, sometimes, they just don't have time.

However, this doesn't mean it's excusable, but it helps when trying to create a successful plan for students.
