> There's a wide gulf between idiot bullying and just the behavior of people less educated/refined than you. Sure. I'm not claiming that everyone I interact with is as educated or intelligent as me. But it's not like an alternative education would have zero diversity. When I went to boarding school, the average IQ went way up—but there was still plenty of variation. Plus, I had the whole new challenge of learning to interact with people from different cultures—some of whom had very limited English. I'm not claiming everyone I work with is tech-savvy or even equally intelligent. What I'm disputing is the claim that being forced to undergo years of bullying and unchallenging instruction is somehow educational.
