My DS who was always saying he loved school, tests, homework etc got a rude wakeup call when he read Calvin and Hobbes at age 6. He was shocked that it is actually cool to hate school, tests etc. That year, he refused to do homework and threw a lot of tests because he wanted to be like Calvin.
Thankfully, he has gotten over that phase now.
