Education is already predetermined. Even if a child is born with naturally good intelligence, if the environment is difficult and there are no good role models, then the probability of making the leap simply dwindles immensely. And honestly... to those who are parents here: do your children have contact with children from precarious backgrounds? So where are the role models supposed to come from? As a child, I was once invited by the family of a friend to a week of riding holidays so that she wouldn’t have to go alone. God, what luck that was for me. We could never have paid those 250 DM in our lives.
That is exactly the question - do you actively oppose segregation? In other words - do you allow free schools, Waldorf, Montessori, denominational schools, etc., so that the educational upper class can withdraw from mixed learning environments? Or the subtler variant, where through place of residence and school district, a staying-among-themselves results on its own?
Personally, I find solutions between a hotspot and a gated community in the right mix to be very good. Even if it requires active management for that. It is also not wrong for children from the sunny side to know that other living conditions exist. Especially in the elementary and primary levels.
