Don't expect it C-tek. Most suburban kids don't care either. (At least from the ones that I knew. Two were stoned every morning, and most said that their dads could get them through school.) They see highschool as a big partying ground, and most just try to get through school so that they can go to work for their fathers. (Or so it appeared in my first Highschool.) Kids around the city, where I live now, do tend to care a bit more as they don't have the money coming from folks to attended Harvard.

If it helps you should know that most adults when asked who their rolemodles were in school say it was one of their teachers. :) You might be making an impression even with these kids that they'll carry with them for the rest of their lives.
