[quote=Anonymous]Part of the problem is the sheer magnitude of wealth disparity. Very rich people do not want their kids having to interact with very poor people. I grew up in a small city of about 50,000 people. Everyone went to the same school system, feeding into one high school, and it was invaluable. There was a small Catholic school that took K-8, but otherwise, there weren't any private options. Having kids from the richest and the poorest families going to school together helped with the education of all of the kids; kept people out of their bubbles a little bit; and helped the community -- since the education of all of the kids rose and fell together. It only worked, I think, because the rich weren't enormously rich and there weren't a great number of truly poor kids. Still, in the areas where it is possible, I think that's the kind of cross-section of families and students we should aspire to having in the mix. [/quote]
