[quote=Anonymous][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.

Baloney on one point: If "every standardized test created, has a racial bias", how is it that on average Asian Americans -- even 1st generation -- outperform American born whites on the SAT? And hispanics outperform AAs? Tests created in the US are biased against whites?

For one thing, living in a country with decades of systemic racism creates different outcomes for AA compared to groups which arrived more recently and do not have the same history.
