[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course, as you cogently argue, independent school signifies admissions independent of legacy, sibling, zip code, big donor and higher socio-economic status. Clearly, explains why admissions to STA is need blind and independent.[/quote] smart a** comment aside, I believe" independent" school means that they choose their own curriculum, plan their own budget, have teachers on yearly contract only etc.. as opposed to school board setting curriculum or "no child left behind" nonsense , unionized teachers ,etc. Every private school is more diverse than it was 50 years or even 40 years ago. That is the point.And yes , it is easy as pie to fill a school with children who are racial or ethnic minorities and still have them be legacies and full pay families who donate tens of thousands of dollars yearly. This is Washington, after all and it is not 1950 anymore.[/quote]
