Single word for lazy student


I'm looking for a single word for "lazy student". In my own language there is such a word that a teacher would use for a student who doesn't engage and doesn't care. In English, the word "slacker" is the best I could think of.



Answer



SlackerDictionary.com



a person who evades his or her duty or work



Good-for-nothingTFD



A person of little worth or usefulness.



Couch potatoTFD



an idler who spends much time on a couch (usually watching television)



Couldn't find any word specifically tailored for students. Aren't most students like this anyway?
