Well, bland will refrain from making the obvious comment that you can't help kids prenatally if prenatal means they aren't kids yet. Obviously that would be a foolish statement. Middle school...isn't that just about the age of puberty? Okay, okay, enough smart comments. Seriously, you can give them all the education individually they will respect you like, but if collectively their peers view it as a sellout to another culture, you're going to have difficult time getting traction. People of the Jewish persuasion, to take a contrasting example, place a high value culturally on education. It is held up as something absolutely to be respected and striven for. They appear to have an attitude about it that appears to make a difference. They didn't formulate or achieve that attitude by saying: "Give us more money, and then we'll change. Give us more advantages. Give us more this, give us more that." They pretty much did it themselves, in the face of no less adversity that what is faced in our inner cities today.
