[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a model that doesn't serve Banneker students nearly as well as it could. Bragging rights to an improved SAT average of 1100 at a test-in, magnet school? This is shameful in any realm but the dysfunctional, excuse-making, equity-obsessed, affirmative action-reliant bubble DCPS operates in.

Why isn't DCPS getting serious about providing the capable teens at Banneker with sufficient challenge in elementary and middle school so that they could easily score in the 600s and 700s on SATs?  We live in a world-class city, with some of the country's greatest museums, libraries and cultural offerings. Great SAT prep has been available on-line via Khan Academy for free for years, while prepping intensely for AP exams can also be done on-line these days, and with good-quality prep books available in public libraries.

Banneker isn't keeping up with the times in encouraging, and celebrating mediocrity, on the part of most of its students.[/quote]
