[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think that there has never been a student at SWW that didn't score below a 4, or proficient on DC CAS, you are sorely mistaken. Before this year, they never required PARCC to apply to take the test.

The point is that PARCC, like every standardized test created, has a racial bias. What is the harm of letting 200 more students take Walls test? If they don't score well, they won't advance to the interview round.

The proposed policy was/is a farce. You allow students who didn’t score well on a standardized test (PARCC) to sit for another standardized test (the Walls exam) and expect them to have a different outcome. Dumb. The top 15 students is an interesting idea, but it would have little to no impact unless it also allowed the top 15 to bypass the Walls exam. Even if this legislation had passed I bet it would have little to no impact on the diversity at Walls. If Walls and the principal are serious about providing expanded access to the school, they should come up with a serious policy proposal. [/quote]
