Myth 2: one style of school leadership will work in every school

School reality 1: students with different backgrounds and experiences bring new insights to the classroom
School reality 2: students who closely interact with people from different backgrounds learn that reality extends beyond their own limited experiences
School reality 3: stereotypes and prejudice break down when students have personal contact with members of other races and cultures
Society reality 1: our youth must learn how to actively participate in a diverse national and international society
Society reality 2: our nation's school population is becoming more diverse, but our schools are becoming more segregated
