Do kids care about an education?

I’m 15, going to be a sophomore in high school this coming school year. I’ve noticed that most kids just don’t care about school or an education. While I admit I don’t like school, I understand the importance of it and try to do my best (well, working on it).

Do I have it all wrong? Do most kids actually care about school? Maybe it’s an odd question but it’s been on my mind for quite some time. I just don’t understand how any teenager could not understand the importance of an education.
