Having both been that student and eventually that teacher*, I can say they are entirely correct in saying that. Now I am much more organized and it really does help. I do have to put more thought and effort in before starting to keep myself organized, but it makes a world of difference. I don’t know what, if anything, someone could’ve told me at the time to get me organized, but looking back it would’ve done me much more good to get in the habit younger.
I remember my math teacher leaving a remark under my test that read “Your chaotic and unorganized way of working is not to your benefit.”
Oh yeah? Then why am I lurching through life to survive through sheer force of will!?
“I award you no points, and my god have mercy on your soul.”
Man, Adam Sandler was on such a heater in the 90’s. This is easily my favorite line from any of his movies though.
Jokes on them, my god has no mercy.

I feel like there is a much more helpful and kind way of making that point
