[West Ender]

Kids have, in generalised terms, never really "wanted" to go to school. Go right back to Shakespeare's seven ages of man,
"The whining schoolboy, with his satchel and shining morning face, creeping like a snail unwillingly to school."
Nothing much has changed in 400 years except the discipline, both at school (where it's eroded by Human Rights) and particularly at home, that made sure previous generations went to school and behaved themselves.
