[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good riddance. Every person in the administration at Walls this year has been an embarrassment to higher education. They have not managed to have a single in-person class for any kids this year. They refused to engage with parents honestly and transparently about plans for any sort of IPL. They did nothing. But they were happy to have the Mayor come celebrate the anniversary of the school for self-serving PR. The kids who succeed at the school do so in spite of the administrators there, not because of them. [b]And if they go woke and make permanent the admissions test (which they suspended this year), it will be the beginning of the end for the school's reputation (or what's left of i[/b]t).[/quote]

Agree with this.  I know about 10 kids who are attending and the majority of them are okay students and not top students.  My own kid is going and would never have met the cut-off if it had been based on a test.  (I'm being totally honestly).  He's a squarely B student.  He made the Walls cut-off because of inflated quarantine grading.  
I had another kid go through Walls who was a tippy top student.  This year will be very different.  It will be interesting to see what happens with this cohort.  [/quote]

I suspect the answer is...nothing different will happen with this cohort. A screening test does not predict success; it just provides an arbitrary cut point for admissions. [/quote]
