I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN!?!?!?!

I've noticed more & more students using the phrase...
"I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN!"
The thing is....they haven't.  It seems this phrase is use like an excuse.  I have high expectations for my students, and honestly...I expect them to ALWAYS do the best that they can!  Why do any less?  However, when kids say this...they expect me to not say anything to them about there work or how they might improve upon it.  I actually had a boy repeat himself today..."I said I did the best that I could!"  I approach him in a way to help...not criticize.  I like him a lot...and have seen him grow so much over the past couple years!!  However, if he(or any student) starts to make excuses for their work...they will stunt their artistic development. 


HAS ANYONE ELSE BEEN HEARING THIS???
