The Dutch students are also among the most negative in attitude about school. I once visited Marocco with other school leaders and there the children were very motivated. I think because, in the Netherlands (and Finland also I resume), school is obligatory and in a lot of other countries it is not, so when you can go to school because your parents can afford it, you are very motivated. On average, Dutch children are also a little spoiled, they want to do as they please and school is a must and they don't like that much.

People feel entitles to education here I think and do not realise it is a granted privilege. They assume it will always be free yet do not understand how it is paid. I think they should teach a little more economics.
