[quote=Anonymous]It is not a diversity issue per se, but certainly this happens much less at the private schools. Not because of wealth, but because kids at private schools tend to come from more stable (yes, better) family environments (intact families, SAHMs, less money stress, working fathers). I attended public schools through high school in the 70s and 80s, and certainly the kids who got into fights tended to come from unstable family environments -- often with alcoholic/abusive or absent fathers. You don't tend to find that at private schools, simply because those types of parents cannot fork out 15-40k/year on private. At the same time, we had plenty of kids from my public high school graduating class who went off to Ivies (both public and private), won Pulitzers, etc. [/quote]
