> If they had a fire under their ass that made them realize if they don't study well, they will forever be locked into flipping burgers or being homeless, most of them would move their assess.

That strikes me as backward. The higher the expected monetary value of good grades, the more students will prioritise grades over deep learning.

Grades only take you so far. The ones with fire under their ass have motivation and grit. They learn, they work hard, they pivot, and most have more success in life than rich kids with everything handed to them or kids who were comfortable and just followed curriculum blindly (and nothing else).
