Absolutely!

Since you're forced to stay here, why shouldn't we abuse you? What are you going to do, run away?

I remember in secondary school, my deeply patriotic teacher asked us who wants to emigrate. And she deeply condemned us for it, calling us leeches that stole from the country. It was obligatory education! We didn't even had an option to choose by then. And also, my parents also could say that yes, they paid for it in their taxes.

I recall running into similar attitudes in my country of origin, including, yes, teachers.

Ironically, this ends up being one of those things that contribute towards the desire to leave.
