Everyone has to go to school, so you might as well get the most out of it.

So everyone spends +- 6 hours a day in school. Why waste 6 hours a day and get nothing out of it? If you're there, you might as well pay attention. It's the same amount of time wasted, but you actually learned something. Being a good student isn't that hard, it's really only a difference of an hour or two a night between a good student and a bad student. A good student will get into a good college and likely get a good job, while a bad student won't, even though the good student devoted 7 - 8 hours a day to school work, while the bad student only put in about 6. Small difference in input, big difference in outcome.
