Is my usage of 'compared with' correct?
Children today aren't hardworking enough. Some say that compared with children in the past, they don't have a strong desire to learn.

Yes. Strictly speaking, if there is a comma after past", it is in my opinion logical to put one after "that" too. However, many people would not bother, and it might be thought too fussy.
