I know the feeling. I edit and publish articles for an internal digest at my place of employment. Many of the people who submit the articles keep making the same grammar errors over and over and never learn from my corrections. I even published some easy-to-follow writing guidelines, but that didn't help. I'm not sure if it's laziness or an unwillingness to learn.

How about instead we try:
I teach grammar lessons based on students’ essay grammar errors, but despite my instruction the students repeatedly make the same mistakes. This leaves me feeling as though I am living out the Myth of Sisyphus.

A good edit is always needed.
