Re: Age Restricted Ghettos = Large Public Schools
"Almost three times as big" is almost 1,200 students.* This is relatively small by standards for many high schools today which average 2,000 to 3,000 students in many areas.
This topic has nothing to do with liking or not liking kids.* It has nothing to do with old people (like myself) remaining involved with schools and kids or not.* I pick the "not" at this stage of my life.* Others like yourself choose to stay involved.* That's great.
This topic has everything to do with responsible parents (yes, it's their turn) getting out of the habit of putting up with impersonal cattle pens that pass for schools for their kids.* And yes, Gracie, I get it.* I have no doubt that there are many exceptions.* But they remain exceptions.
