I think students procrastinate because they feel swamped with work. We go to school 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Summing up to roughly 40 hours a week. Not including tutorials before and after school and also extracurricular activities. That's not even mentioning the excessive 4 to 5 hours of homework a night for many other classes. Students feel overwhelmed by all the work. So many, in hope of just taking a break, set aside their assignment in order to call their rushing brain to a halt. But, because of their overpowering work load, they are facing with yet ANOTHER assignment. Quickly casting the first one out of their mind and onto the back burner. Then, at the last minute they realize that they did not complete the assignment and that it's due the following day. So they are forced to stay up until wee hours in the morning finishing their work, most likely just to make a seventy or less. Today's students' overwhelming work load is a main reason why many assignments are hastily finished, or not even done at all.
I think students now should set realistic goals for their school work. If you're not excelling in on-level English, DO NOT go into Advanced Placement, thinking it'll raise you're GPA. You will fail.
