There are a few words for this... I think the one that best fits your description is "yes-man":
a person (especially a man) who agrees with everything that someone says : a person who supports the opinions or ideas of someone else in order to earn that person's approval
The first one to come to mind was "toady", which has the added benefit of being a noun and a verb:
Noun: a person who flatters and ingratiates himself or herself in a servile way; sycophant
Verb: to fawn on and flatter (someone)
Sycophant is also a good word:
a person who seeks favor by flattering people of wealth or influence; parasite; toady
There are a bunch of other options, though, including "flunky":
The common word lazy can apply here.
- : not liking or willing to act or work
He was a bad student because he was lazy.
In this context, lazy implies that he did not do his work or study.
Specifically, to suggest that a student did not want to study, you could say
- disinterested
: not having the mind or feelings engaged : not interested
He was a bad student because he was disinterested (in school, studies, etc).- apathetic
: having little or no interest or concern : indifferent
He was a bad student because he was apathetic (towards school, studies, etc).
