11/24 Great School Debate

Quote From: pietva

They never experience a difference if the only non-family they ever try to befriend are at church, or in a choir, or on the soccer field. Sure, a private school could work, but not if it is a segregated, strictly denominational setting, like Jonestown.

Some churches have hundreds of members that are very diverse.   I guess I don't see a public school classroom of 30 kids, all the same age, around the same education level as being diverse.  Diverse is in a "place" (using the term loosly that could be church, club, volunteer organization, workplace, etc) where ages are mixed, education level mixed, income mixed (yes, this is also the case that many schools have kids of a certain family income that live in the neighborhood near the school).  I think this is not a correct conclusion to come to.
