I have no doubt we can be proud of "the many" mega- public schools. "Many" does not necessary mean "most", and "many" can still be an exception. How many underbelly, illicit, and troublesome associations and activities go on "under the radar" outside of these myriad of activities in these mega schools?

Just as I have no doubt there are many in age restricted communities who do not participate in activities because of infirmities, depression, and just not being the social type. Except in the case of older folk, the great majority of us have been properly socialized after 55 or 65 years of life. In the case of young people, most have not been socialized and have formed anti-social behaviors outside of the established system devoid of adult supervision and influence - that is the rub.
