[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who assume urban schools will make it easier for you to work more easily with a range of people ignore most urban schools are not really diverse places. They are filled with poorer kids who have very little exposure to genuine socio economic diversity. Your average suburban high school will have greater diversity.

But in terms of really intermingling all classes, nothing can beat a small town high school where all kids go to the same one high school, whether the doctors' kids or trailer park kids.

As for the thread topic, there are too many nuances to public and private schools. Your typical urban school is as much a bubble as a rich private school, just in a different way. [/quote]

Nah, small towns don't prepare you for the big city.[/quote]

You can say the same about big cities failing to teach people how to cope in different environments. [/quote]
dp but most jobs are not in rural areas; they are in cities.[/quote]
