Most high school students want good grades because they want to be done with compulsory schooling because they dislike having to do it, and most university undergrads want good grades to get a credential they can leverage for better job prospects. They behave like this not because they are lazy or mercenary, but because this is how the value of education has been sold to them. They don't want to participate fully in the exercises because actually learning things is beside the point
