[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been talked about in hundreds of posts. [u] A true test in school of TJ caliber would skew so heavily white and high SES that it would never fly in DC. To make it appear more equitable, the standards would gave to be lowered for entry and well then you have Banneker, [/u]Mckninly and any other DC school.[/quote] This is the answer. I will just keep copying and pasting it over and over on each page of this thread I think. Well, the racial imbalance PLUS the economic reality that the school would be too small to be sustainable. ie, you can't have 30 TJ caliber world class teachers for grade with only 41 students. 41 kids =/= a budget that would cover their compensation and a world-class STEM facility with university caliber laboratories.
