Indeed: if you don't get this life experience, you don't learn to cultivate a fervent hate towards other humans. :-( Whether this is a desirable trait for you children to get is up to you to decide ...

The point is to figure out how to associate with arbitrary people without cultivating a "fervent hate" toward them.

Everyone will have to participate in arbitrarily composed groups of people throughout life. Is it more or less likely for that experience to be one of hatred if exposed to it earlier or only later?

Rather: is it better if you are exposed to this in a jail-like situation or not?

You can guess my answer.

School is significantly more like other totally normal settings where other people are present than it is like jail.
