> This is because we shield children too much from reality. If they had a fire under their ass that made them realize if they don't study well, they will forever be locked into flipping burgers or being homeless, most of them would move their assess.

This seems pretty inaccurate to me at just about every turn.

The fire under their asses is for grades and a degree because they've erroneously been told they need one or else they'll be flipping burgers.

It's such a cliche thing to say but cheating at school cheats yourself of the education you could be getting but, since that's not what most people are there for, they cheat. They are there because they've been told that they need a degree to make a decent living and the degree doesn't technically require learning.
