[quote=Anonymous]I've dealt with one college counselor as an alum interviewing Ivy League applicants and s/he seemed dim-witted, stuck in a different age. No real ambition for the brightest kids, seeing any halfway decent college offering good fi aid viewed as acceptable for the best students. The main problem with Banneker seems to be old-fashioned thinking about affirmative action: no need for white/upper-middle-class kids in the school, no need for high octane SAT and AP scores, no need for high fliers to take more than a handful of AP classes, no need for cutting-edge facilities. No, our kids will all get a leg up for being hard-working, well taught, minority and, for the most part, poor. Buy this hackneyed story if you wish, but times they are a changin' on diversity issues in this country. [/quote]
