Paulette,
Sadly, that's true (blame game). Some students are quick to point to all the other people and reasons why they were less than successful rather than point their fingers at themselves (the real culprit). I think adult learners especially want (and deserve) to have current grade information provided or available in order for them to make the needed adjustments, or at least be open to suggestions for improvement. Then, it's up to them to follow through.
