What exactly don't I get?* That there are exceptions and you may have experienced them?* Are you suggesting that the cattle barns that pass themselves off as "schools" housing 3,000 plus students is the best environment for a child to spend 80% of his waking hours?* What these are good for is saving tax payers money (economies of scale prevail) and housing the kids while the parents work.

Your previous post indicates that your idea of a "mega school" is a school with enrollment of less than 1,200 kids.* My idea of a "mega school" is an enrollment of 2,000 to 3,000 kids or more.* When you defend the performance of "large schools", what size school are you speaking of?

If your experience and knowledge is based on the "fewer than 1,200 student school" you have little basis to suggest I don't get it.* An opinion just based on narrow personal experience is like visiting a hand full of planets in the universe and coming to the conclusion that they are all alike.

"That's great!" Yes. That was a sincere statement. It is a great thing when people do what they love doing and what they love doing is helpful to others.
