Work ethic has something to do with it. Also consider cultrual differences. The pressures put on kids in Japanese and even Chinese schools is incredible. I have many Japanese and Chinese friends and some of the stories I hear about the constant pressure to study and do well amaze me. So from my friends who have first hand experience in asian schools, I don't believe they feel any different about education then North American students do. They would like entertaining/interesting classes as much as anyone else it's just the pressure put on them to succeed and the almost constant schooling is driving many of them crazy.
I read some where that Japanese people are the most stressed out people. This leads to health issues and break downs. I value education as much as they do but not to the point were I can't stand it anymore or at the risk of my health.
