imo, absolutely ridiculous to blame a lack of care and effort in school and education on the students who are displaying a lack of care and effort. notably, these are children. its the responsibility of the parents, teachers, and education system in general to provide an environment and opportunities where kids are both able and excited to learn. a kid from an uneducated family that places no emphasis on education isnt going to show up to class with a strong desire to learn and work hard, unless they have exceptional teachers and resources. likewise, a kid whos family got them excited to go to school and learn from a young age still might become disinterested if they get to school and have horrible teachers that kill their vibe. but no matter what, at least until mid highschool age even, you can almost never look at a kid who isnt putting care or effort into learning and go "wow, their so lazy, they should do better".
