[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just read today’s Post article on Walls.  This notion of admitting any student in the top 15 percent of failing middle schools - in the name of the gods of diversity and inclusion - is jist nuts.  The problem for DCPS is that in some schools only 1 percent of students pass the national standardized exam.  If you effectively create a quota of at risk students at Walls by waiving academic success criteria, then the result will be diversion of faculty and staff resources to bring underperforming students up to grade level, at the expense of the learning experience of the high performing students.  Or the curriculum will be dumbed down.  Why DCPS seems hell bent on destroying one of the few standout schools in the District is beyond me.  I guess it’s philosophical — it somehow being better to provide ‘equitable and inclusive’ access to mediocrity instead of letting those who have worked hard to achieve reach their full potential.[/quote]

The WaPo article -- and headline -- we're typically tendentious, with the WP propagating woke "correct think." The premisses are accepted without question, as is the change itself, as though no reasonable person would disagree. Apparently the only reason the WaPo thought it was newsworthy is that the families of unqualified kids were the [i]victims[/i]... of DC government incompetence. Talk about burying the lede.[/quote]
