Terry,
This is common for all of us. I work hard to engage all of my students but the reality is even though they paid tuition and selected to come to college some students will be tardy, absent, non-completers or negative. I work with these students but try to keep in mind that I have a great bunch of students that really want to be there and I enjoy my rapport with them and hope the others will somehow catch fire and get excited about learning.
