Maybe the question we ought to be asking, then, is, "Why are our youth not motivated to study?" This seems to be true across all background, excepting one: first-generation Americans. I was certainly motivated to study, even things I didn't like. I knew it was my path to a better life. The "second-generation problem" is well-documented [0], and so the obvious question is: what can we do to inculcate that same motivation in our youth? To make them self-directed? On that, I am not sure. [0]: https://dyske.com/paper/1258 https://dyske.com/paper/1258, https://www.jstor.org/stable/2547418 https://www.jstor.org/stable/2547418
