I'm a peer tutor (and also about fifteen years older than my "peers"), the sheer number of students that have scheduled appointments with me and then not shown up blows my mind. I even had one beg me to schedule with her on my off day, so I agreed, knowing she's going to fail without someone to help her. And then she didn't show up, or bother to text me that she wasn't going to lol

It's just one of those things that makes me wonder if it's a generation gap, or if it's specifically "covid teens" that have this behavior.
