I often hear: "Living standards now are so high that young people feel no need to study hard. What for? They can always live on welfare. They become lazy, play basketball all day instead of studying. Some have even started sitting in parks. The education system should definitely be better, but only private schools can do that. Public teachers - especially the unionized - are as lazy as the children they teach. Their living standard is high, they can't be fired - there is no reason for them to work hard."
