Mixing with all ages is a good thing
I know this because the government is going to throw £5.5 million at schemes which promise to bring the generations together - Drive to break down age barriers. Just as well we have the likes of England’s Minister for Care Services, Phil Hope to tell us that “getting people of different generations together is a good experience for both” because otherwise I’m sure we’d never have figured that out for ourselves.
OK, turning down the sarcasm a notch I guess we can quote him next time we have to answer the ‘S’ question and point out that when our children mix with all ages they aren’t costing the tax payer a penny.

Good grief…sometimes it really is hard not to scream in quite a pain-inducing sort of a way. (I now have a sore throat…thanks!)
First, they spend a lot of money ghettoising children, and then they spend a lot of money artificially doing the reverse.
HONESTLY.
(Almost sad to be proud of our naturally happy intergenerational HE groups).

Youth subculture and its associated undesirable factors are a consequence of age segregated institutionalised education.
