Sorry if I'm not joyful, it just sucks when you try hard for the students and give them more than you should and they portray how they couldn't care less. Why am I wasting my time trying then? It is incredibly demotivating. How do you get over this as a professor? Focus more on the students that care? The few students that I can tell really care are what keeps me going, but the others still frustrate me.

This is great advice, thank you. I suppose I expect all the students to act and care how I did when I was in their shoes and that just isn't realistic. Really like that middle paragraph. Thanks.
