<p>I would like to see the citation for the alleged study where, “it has been shown that people learn better when they’re surrounded by people like them.” And, what does “like them” mean? Relative to Socioeconomic class? Race? IQ? And, “learn better” at what? Course content? Critical thinking? Cultural literacy? I’m thinking that those who are, “surrounded by people like them”, are not going to learn much about the latter. </p>
<p>Again, this thread smacks of so much elitism and bigotry, I can hardly stand it.</p>
