In traditional education, all students are lumped together under one instructor, and basic subjects read, write, arithmetic. Individuality is not promoted. There was a certain passing number upon entrance exams to determine if students are 'normal.' Different learning styles, social disorders, and mental illnesses were not what the Broad of Education considered appropriate behaviour. This is probably where bullying others that are different originated.
Modern education consists of choices, online, independent, education intervention. Social groups are diverse, students can be a cool nerd, jocks can be on the honour roll, people from two different styles walks of life can find common ground and become friends. A college is an option for students willing to work hard for scholarships, there are choices. Proms Kings and Queens are not the most important topic.
