As an academic educator myself I must sadly concur. Students always demand a lot of things, and then they don't use them.
That doesn't mean offering them is a bad thing, because there are people who do, but most students I know "don't have the time" and I know for a fact that they don't do shit. And I know that for a fact because I studied at my university a few years prior. Back then I was a freelancer while studying, ao when I said I don't have timw that meant I had a job. Ut for most of my colleagues that meant they were occupied with loafing around.
Not that everything and everybody needs to be efficient, but if you loaf around blaming a lack of time is a fucking joke. Maybe they are lacking energy, direction, discipline, willpower, ambition, etc. and sure, some — e.g. young mothers — are truly lacking time. But most students are not.
