I'm an audible learner, I can read something 4 times and still not understand how it works. I paid for college to listen to my professors and lecturers, and I retained knowledge by attending all available sessions.

Stop making excuses for being a bad teacher.

Sounds like you are putting effort into your education. I'm not talking about you. The vast majority of students are not incapable of doing the reading if they actually care to try.

As a teacher, it's very obvious when no one even looked at the reading. And it's baffling to me that people just want to pass the class and not get anything out of it.
