English term or phrase: aren\'t entitled as...
Dear all,

I need to know the meaning of "aren't so much entitle as..." in this context.

"Remember that sometimes kids aren’t so much entitled as clueless and need to
know the facts."

يريد الكاتب أن يقول بصفة عامة أن الأطفال يحتاجون لأن نوضح لهم بعض الحقائق

لكن لا أفهم أبداً بنية الجملة ولا معنى النفي.. فأرجو التوضيح
