[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure I understand why the city is making this such a big deal. Banneker is 98% AA and SWW is 60% AA. Why are they acting like white kids are taking over the magnet schools [/quote] Politics, pure and simple, with a heaping scoop of social justice political correctness. What I don't get especially, is why disregard middle school attendance records? I can see the argument that kids with lesser academic preparation opportunties might get a little more leeway on their scores, but attendance more than anything (barring some medical excuse) is a barometer of a student's commitment to show ups, be diligent and learn. Why waste magnet or selective admissions on the chronically truant?[/quote]
