[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't usually talk about white privilege, being as I am really white, aware that it's carried me through many things, and that I rely upon it for many more, but...

There's a problem here, with how we are talking about this. And it is depressing the hell out of me. I would like to propose that we change the dialogue.

Here we have Banneker, on one hand, where high school students know they CANT fail a test, even one that doesn't matter. On the other hand, we have Wilson, where bad test scores just mean that "those poor seniors have enough to do!" Or, as per the Washington Post, the bad test scores are some kind of protest act.

And then, far away on an island somewhere we have the kids attending eastern, Dunbar et all, who everyone has just written off because of THEIR bad test scores.[/quote]

Good point. Agree.

I think the alleged behavior of the Wilson students the principal spoke of is pretty appalling.

Whose terrible idea was it to schedule PARCC for the week before APs? Of course they wanted to hurry through the meaningless test and go back to study for the tests that matter.[/quote]
