It's also entirely possible to take a child that values learning and drive that out of them through discouragement and disincentive, something schools are often quite good at.

On the flip side, it's entirely possible to encourage a child to value learning. But that's something that tends to happen early, far before school, and even if present, may or may not survive contact with school.

A good teacher can do it, at least for some children. Teachers that good are rare, though.
