One always has to take the good with the bad. Some students will always see the teacher as the enemy -- out to screw them at every turn, and incapable of doing their own jobs. Others will show some respect for what the teacher is trying to do -- help the students learn.
I have been faced with both types of students in my career. When a student runs into things that they themselves have failed to comprehend -- often blame can go to the teacher, and not to their own lack of work on the topic in question. At every phase of my teaching life I have faced the hateful students, and the good ones. The ones who really want to learn survive the adversities, and reap the rewards.
The others remain disgruntled and mostly unfulfilled. What kind of student are you?
