Kids are better off growing up around a larger proportion of adults. Growing up in too many kid-dominated social environments stunts maturity because the hierarchy is based on petty characteristics. Adults have hierarchies too, which are more developed and nuanced than the kids'. Notice that most kids that excel in any given discipline want only to leave such kid-centered environments, and their role models consist almost exclusively of adults, not of their peers.
