Ok, frankly the most charitable reading I can make of your comment is that you have no idea what typical social iterations in public schools are like.

I went to public school, I tutor kids from a selection of of public schools, all of my best friends were nerds in public school, and besides which, I read that article before I even started to participate on Less Wrong. If that's the most charitable reading you can take, I think you're either not making an effort, or you have an emotional investment in this issue which you're unable to separate yourself from.
