I believe the above idea but to you do you and the others do you support the idea?
There are so many bright young kids out there who have great potential but see that having a gun and stupid friends might be enough to be liked and have a place to stay...
I remember my friend��s son telling me that he does not need good grades in school because he��ll live off wellfare like mom when he��s grown up... his mom was so shocked that she got her behind out of the house the next day and got herself a job. Her life has changed alot - wohoo!!! but up until that day I was the only person her son knew who had a higher education so he thought I was exotic...
Luckily, that��s a couple of years ago, his grades are great and he changed schools, thinks he might want to go to college and keeps asking me for opinions on that :-D
Where am I going with this?
Well, I think alot of kids are held back by negative influence. There are more scholarships out there for poor kids than there are opportunities for middle-class kids whose parents don��t really have the money for their college education either, but not enough of the poor kids are using those resources. They need better role models and teachers that don��t see the rebellious ghetto kid but rather the bright mind behind the front!
