I once got a report card that said "student is highly motivated". It seems really hollow now, in light of the following story.

A South African village is demanding that a bridge be built across a crocodile-infested river to stop children swimming it to get to school.

Students as young as seven have been making the crossing for two months since the community's boat was stolen.

Now that's highly motivated.
