[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC could easily implement free test prep programs like NYC does. The truth is that they wouldn't be taken advantage of equally across demographics, but would have some impact in terms of increasing diversity of admitted students from a purely ecomomic perspective (or at least certainly has in NYC). However, there is a huge value of education/value of test prep cultural component that it wouldn't and can't address on its own. That does not strike me as a reason not to have test-in schools. I also think there are test-in options where you reserve spots for kids from different middle schools and/or wards and/or income levels. Lots of options could be explored.[/quote] I don’t see why people should waste so many resources in selective schools for parents and kids who can’t clear the lowest bar to show up to free tutoring.
