[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's a mistake for these schools to take kids who need to spend all their time studying to get high enough scores on the test. These schools should be filled with kids who can do well without spending all their out of school time studying, so they can be participating in and learning from non-academic activities such as arts, music, and sports. High school is a time to explore; kids are narrowing their opportunities if they only have time for schoolwork. [/quote] I agree with this, although 1) how do you separate the studying high-achieving kids from the well-rounded high-achieving kids and 2) this is still another way of saying, let's increase the number of white kids.
