[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about schools that try to fix quirky kids and make them cool? You know, play sports, dress well, get girls etc.[/quote] Isn’t learning to fit in, or deciding not to, part of what you learn in school? Wouldn’t switching them from an environment that presents some challenges to one you think will be easier for them prevent them from learning some very valuable life lessons?[/quote] Depends on the level of cruelty of the offending kids. You say "some challenges," but getting daily messages from a peer group that there is something inherently wrong with you is more than "some challenges." Kids who are bullied do not always recover to their former potential, and they may believe the whole world is as cruel as their middle school. Putting them in a school with nicer people gives them hope, self-esteem, and lets them develop into their best selves.[/quote]
