Michael,
You're right. Most students want to be led, to be directed, to get trained for a better future, and the hopes of a new career is often the route many take. Our role to provide competent instruction in an organized fashion is an assumption that most incoming students would make. Besides, it's our job. Also, I feel classes just flow better when we are organized, have all our resources, and we have taken the time to plan and prepare.
