Do You Think Education Is This Valuable?

Every one of my students who sleeps in class or who refuses to do their homework should see how much this grandmother values education.

But to be honest, I'm not sure I value education this much easy. It's interesting to speculate on this grandmother's motivation. She believes that education offers the most hope for her granddaughter's life. 

That's just the point to consider. What do you think is most important for your kids? And what would you be willing to do to see that happen?
