These young men begin to recognize the value and importance of education. It feels good. It is empowering. It is, finally, relevant to who they are and what they want to do.
Thus, these young men learn to nurture ideals of achievement. They seek out and find ways to achieve during and after high school.
This doesn't sound like anti-intellectualism to me.
