[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The way to solve this would be to have 12-15 test in schools so that pretty much any kid that scores above a threshold lotteries into one of the schools. Singapore does this more or less with the PSLE- if your score in 5th grade or so isn’t good enough, you can’t place into the school.

DC just has too many test in schools, that should almost be the default. That would also release pressure on Banneker, McKinley, and Walls[/quote]

You need to elect very different people if you want test-in schools. People like Janeese Lewis George would gouge their eyes out. They are in the business of lowering academic standards. It's the only way they know how to erase racial disparities in academic achievement. It's dumb but it's the government we've chosen. [/quote]

People on the far left believe test-in schools are racist because they end up being dominated by white and Asian students. [/quote]

Lol when it’s not just ‘hard work’ that gets you into these schools.
Try sending your kid to a sh*t school without supplemental support and see if they can easily get in through ‘hard work.’

I am Asian and I do not think it’s racist to have to get into a school but I do think ignoring the systemic failures is at the very least problematic.[/quote]

This is DC. No one cares about effort. The only reason anyone does well or does poorly is because they have unfair advantages or disadvantages. [/quote]
