distracted by other matters, such as actual studies.

I would expect that this recent trend has more to do with the
current obsession with 'woke' issues making the kids terrified of
doing something 'wrong' than anything else. From my experience in
the distant past, 17 - 19 year olds were more than capable of plenty
of both kinds of activities.<br>
The traditional stereotypes of the nerd with good grades but no luck
with the opposite sex, and the opposite, are (or were) outliers.
Most students seemed to be capable of a good balance of hay-rolling
and studying, at least where I was. Apart from certain
ethnic/cultural groups, of course (but even some of them would take
good advantage of their temporary freedom).<br>
