Terrible policy aside, I have a theory that schools — and large public schools, particularly — are terrible social environments in no small part because they don't grow organically. Imagine a start-up forced to bring on 60 managerial staff & 800 unscreened rank-and-file on Day 1https://twitter.com/webdevMason/status/1129191799048744960 …

During childhood you don't know who you want to be with when starting a company you generally have an idea. Also a valuable skill to interact with all types of people (personality wise)
What on earth would lead you to believe that children don't know who they want to be with? They're remarkably good at experimenting with social configurations and self-selecting themselves into functional groups, when they're not actively prevented from doing so

Just personal experience, grew up with very different people than who I hang out with now and wouldn't change it. However, wouldn't say that makes it right / optimal.

Children are generally tolerant of each others' differences when they're not forced into situations where those differences are costly to them. Do that too much and you'll create learned helplessness in some kids and aggressive intolerance in others
