De Blasio's plan to reduce Asian representation at NYC's elite schools

[Anonymous]

The talented, low income AA and Latino kids in NYC are not attending the specialized publics, because they’re getting recruited by (and scholarships to) the city’s best privates and by boarding schools. The private schools’ desire for diversity is stronger than that of the publics, and they can pay for it. Given the choice, almost anyone will choose Collegiate over Stuyvesant.

The talented Asian kids can only get into the top privates if they can pay for it and pass all the other “whole candidate” screening hurdles. Private school in NYC costs $52k+ per year, so the upper middle class on down Asian students only really have the special publics available to them. They get dinged in admissions here just like they do in colleges.

It's crazy.

The answer is not lower standards and special breaks for certain minorities. The solutions is to encourage other minorities to buckle down and study hard like Asians. Less hip hop and more Confucius, in other words.

How true. Too bad no one is allowed to express this opinion.

Did you attend one of these schools ?
