[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PLACE are as I understand it the ones responsible for the fanatically anti-LGBT District 2 CEC - and are basically in general the NYC equivalent of Moms for Liberty - so I make a point of voting for whoever they do not endorse. (and indeed just did so on my CEC ballot)

From what I hear, things are *extremely* unpleasant at Stuy at the moment - everybody's stressed and miserable and works too hard and has to cheat just to survive - so while I don't think that "la la no more tests" is the answer, being willing to at least raise the question of whether to add other factors along with the SHSAT is maybe worth considering; even something as simple as adding an essay component like Hunter does might help.[/quote]

You know what you are getting into when you go to Stuy. We did not even consider it for our child (full disclosure - their score was not high enough anyway, but was high enough for every other school). The school seems to suck the life out of kids.

But if you don't like Stuy, don't put it on your list. There are some families who actually want this - supply and demand. So that is not an excuse to get rid of the SHSAT. I personally strongly favor more well-rounded kids (which is why we turned down our SHSAT placement for private). But the fighting over what alternative to use would be epic, and I highly doubt a better solution would be found, particularly with the idiots who tend to actually make these decisions.[/quote]
