The school that admits students of all socio-economic statuses can offer children greater number of advantages than the one that caters to the needs of the rich. • How well founded is this view in your opinion? These days all schools do not admit students of all makes. There are elite public schools for the rich and ordinary schools that are open for all. However, in terms of the view on advantages, I am inclined to believe that it is of great relevance. A school that admits a heterogeneous student community is able to offer several advantages to the learners. The primary thing is that the classroom comes to accommodate students from families that are rich, not-so-rich, poor, not-so-poor, and very poor. This blend makes students learn the ultimate fact that they belong to a society of differences and, therefore, there is need for tolerance. Besides this, there will be great room for competition. Here it is not one’s social or financial well being that rubs shoulders, rather the innate potentials that get tested, and when the competition gets tougher, the tougher students, not the richer necessarily, go winning. Finally, a school of mixed student community offers greater opportunities for interaction, mutual help, better learning and, above all, it will be a platform of fair play. If we juxtapose these advantages with the other, we may find that students of such schools do not enjoy as many advantages as the first one does. Firstly, they will be getting excellent learning atmosphere supported by the latest of study aids. Secondly, the infrastructure is of greater value and quality than other schools do. Thirdly, students can be with likeminded ones. In short, there are enough points to conclude that a school with a mixed student community is able to offer more to its pupils than what an elite school does. In my opinion, all schools need to accommodate talents, I mean students, of all makes. 285 words Ajaypeesdoc. 6.5.012
