[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not racist. GA state is a hard no for us but Howard, Spellman and Moorehouse were considered. Kids went top 10 to schools scoring high in every survey but teaching. So not racist at all. But GA State a very hard no. [/quote]

Actually Georgia State is considered one of those punching above it’s weight schools in higher ed policy circles. It has large numbers of racially diverse, first generation, and Pell grant students and it’s graduation rate is markedly higher than solitaryB colleges.  Not everyone gets to choose between an ivy and top 10 flagship and I’m glad there are public colleges like Georgia statecould
Legitimate out there transforming ppls lives. [/quote]

Me too!  But  still a hard no for us. There is no racism or conflict with what you said.

Oh I see. So you admit it's a great school, but it's still "a hard no" for you.

It’s not a great school
But it does a very good job of serving a population that has no or limited options. My kids do not need remedial courses or to be spoon fed. They don’t need a charter school either. If you can go to HPY why would you go to Georgia State?  You decide to go to a top HBCU and many do. It still gives the child all the same options at graduation.  We focus on the opportunities for the graduates as well as the education. For advance kids GA State is not good. University of GA has more to offer but that would also be a hard no. I just think you were grasping for straws to prove a silly point and had no idea of the history of GA State it’s history and it’s current student population or it’s local reputation.

I think you're elitist and narrow-minded.

But not a racist!  I can live with that as an AA with high achieving kids. I think you have no idea what you are talking about and throw terms around. You have highjacked this thread and are saying silly things. With racism as it is education matters and studies for AAs prove it. I thought you liked studies??[/quote]

What you're saying doesn't make any sense.

I didn't hijack this thread at all -- you and others were making baseless assertions about Cornell being unequivocally better than Michigan. I was defending the notion that Michigan is just as good. You're the one who brought up GA State. [/quote]
