[quote=Anonymous]When I was a kid, I moved from a private elementary school to a public middle school. It was a fantastic educational move (education in a broad sense) -- I went from a smallish class of homogeneous, mostly upper-middle class kids to a very large class of kids from all walks of life. I soon had classmates/friends whose dads were factory workers and telephone company workers. The kids were also much more advanced socially (dances, movies, kissing and more, trying cigarettes, etc.) than they were at my prior small private school. So I think having some "poor kids" or kids on FA can, by their presence and shared experiences, provide a broader education for the other, more well-off kids. It's part of the educational value of diversity (by diversity, I mean variety of race, religion, wealth, etc.).[/quote]
