[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I won't be able to make it to the coffee. However, can someone please ask Catania if supports test-in middle schools whereby high-SES white students can learn unencumbered by classroom disruptions that are caused by the less affluent minority type?  (and report back?)[/quote]
Do you feel the same way about the test-in middle school opening in ward 7? [/quote]
And what about the families at Banneker, do you cut them slack because the school is mostly Black, but then denigrate them for being elitist?  How does that judgement from on high work?[/quote]

As a matter of fact, Banneker isn't a test-in high school.  The only DCPS high schoo that is test-in is......SWW.  Banneker does, however, use the 7th grade DC-CAS scores (proficient and/or advanced) as one requirement for admission.  Of course, according to some on DCUM, the CAS isn't rigorous enough for high-SES students and therefore is an marginal assessment of student achievement-especially beyond middle school.  [/quote]
