I suggest readers take a look at this thesis from a student at KhNURE: “the problem of students not studying a subject -comes from the teacher. Couldn’t make it interesting.” (the author’s spelling and punctuation have been preserved).

The greatest tragedy of our world is that it has been turned upside down. We live in an upside-down world. Here everything is the other way around. The active has become passive. Regression has become forward movement. The cheap is valued more than the expensive. The faster you run toward a goal, the farther away from it you end up.
In the upside-down world, it wasn’t the applicant who wrote an application to be admitted to the university. In fact, he didn’t want to; it wasn’t his initiative — rather, the university staff attacked him and dragged him into the admissions office, where, under pressure from Evil Adults, he put down his signature.
In the upside-down world, it isn’t the student who takes an interest in the subject. It’s the teacher who has to make the student interested in studying his subject. In the upside-down world, nature did not instill curiosity in man; it removed it.
In the upside-down world, it isn’t the student who reads a book. It’s the book that has to interest the student — or better yet, jump into his head by itself.
In the upside-down world, the student is completely passive. It isn’t the student who decides what interests him. There are plenty of things besides education fighting for the student’s interest: computer games, movies, cartoons, TV series, nightclubs, parties, alcohol, drugs. Education is at an obvious disadvantage here because of the instant high everything else provides. And education does not give instant results, because everything genuine is hard, slow, demands all of you, is painful, but that is precisely what makes it valuable — the amount of energy and time invested. And an instant high is free and on every corner. You can’t learn C++ in 21 days. You can learn it in ten years.
Come to the lecture. Turn off the Wi-Fi, turn off your phone. Move away from your degenerate friends. Look at the board, listen to what the teacher is saying. Open your notes, write down the most important things. And repeat this again and again. Come to the lecture. Turn off your phone. Listen to the teacher. And again, again. Come to the lecture, write down the most important things. And repeat. And maybe, if you’re lucky (since you were unlucky from birth, unlike others in whom nature instilled a living interest in everything around them), by the end of the tenth lecture you’ll find it interesting.
If anyone has forgotten the meaning of the word, I’ll remind you.
Student — from Lat. studens — one who works diligently, studies.
One who works diligently. Studies.
You were walking along and spilled the meaning on the way. You are empty. You can call yourself Batman, but that doesn’t make you Batman. You can call yourself a student, but that doesn’t make you a student.
