    For a school activity called Mix It Up Day, students from different grades were randomly grouped together to do icebreakers and get-to-know-you activities, but most students stuck with their own grades. The student found the activities useless and not effective at mixing groups, as students focused more on winning contests than learning about each other. The student didn't feel they learned anything meaningful from the experience and questions if there is a better way to get students from different grades to interact.
