[quote=Anonymous]One thing he mentioned is kids from all socioeconomic backgrounds benefit academically from a school population that is diverse economically. He said he will address that in later columns. I am interested in what impact that has on kids. I was on the lower $ spectrum and went to a much more economically diverse school. I was able to take AP and honors courses with kids from much wealthier families. I still didn't do as well as they did, but it at least gave me a group of kids who cared about educational achievement. And it was a competitive atmosphere that made me strive even harder. But what benefit is a diverse school to the wealthy? How did my presence benefit the rich kids?[/quote]
