I believe that the problem for some of them is that they approach school in
a negative reinforcement mode rather than a positive reinforcement mode.
They study to escape test anxiety and avoid failure. Hence, there is no
pride in accomplishing something good, just relief that nothing bad
happened.
my 2 cents.
