I am aware but I think that 8am is not early enough for that to be a major driver. I think it is as simple as insufficient planning and personal discipline.

I think it is as simple as insufficient planning and personal discipline.

Even if we accept that, shouldn't universities try to make it as easy as they can for students to learn. Adding pointless hurdles, and then blaming lack of discipline for your inability to scale them, just seems kind of daft. Unless of course you believe that learning to show up on time no matter what and meeting hard arbitrary deadlines is the secret real skill being taught by higher education.

I think having to make an early morning class is part of the learning process. I don’t think they should cater to them at all and believe it would actually be a disservice to do so.

I’m also not trying to blame the students, but instead the enablers. The students aren’t being told to get up earlier, they are being told the classes are too early, which reinforces their bad attitude about it and is probably why they still show up late.

Okay, well, you're entitled to your opinion.
