Why do people dislike excuses? What is it about a legitimate excuse that makes it legitimate?
Discuss.

they hate it if you do shit every day and hear your excuses

I know people who will not accept excuses no matter what. Mostly professors. I am curious what the rationale behind this is.

because its a BIG waste of time
the queen dosn't say helo for the same reason it would cost her about 2 hours a day to say helo to everybody

and if your in universtiy its YOUR job to care for your OWN stuff not the job of your professor
he propably dosn't care and don't want you (and hundred other students) to waste his time

Ahh yeah this makes sense, though this is exactly what is wrong with the Western education system.

Yeah i get this too.
Something goes wrong for me. Stay quiet and just grit myself through it. Prof wants to know whats up why did this happen. Tell him why I DONT WANT TO HEAR EXCUSES ANON!

Universities have strayed very far from the ideas of Plato and Aristotle. Both thought that education should be a very personal affair. Nowadays education is only about getting a job, and we see that this is the case with our grading system. I urge you to try to find an argument for why grades are necessary other than that they are necessary for companies to weed out people who do not try hard or who are not smart. Plato, Aristotle, and I would argue that this is not the goal of an education. An education should be for people who want to be educated, so any argumentation that grades are an incentive for people to get an education is bogus in my opinion.
An education is not about proving you are a grown up, it is about learning how to be a grown up, among other things. In my opinion, banning excuses and grading are counter to this goal.
