But they now graduate (at least those the graduate) have good self esteem

English is my second language, can you please explain more clearly? I
really prefer Dutch, but that may be too much to ask ...

IOW, the idea in the education industry today that having "self esteem"
is more important in the current scheme of things than being well
educated, personally responsible, and achieving goals through hard work
and personal effort.

Often manifested by programs that include lowering testing standards for
certain groups, and the practice of rewarding everyone a prize, instead
of just those who excel because of an inherent talent and/or hard work
(like eliminating Valedictorians from high school graduations) ... just
a couple examples of the misguided nonsense of the "self esteem" card
being played in education today.
