[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The process is a mess, complete mess, but no point in pretending that affirmative action had nothing to do with it. Bowser says she wants greater Ward 7 and 8 representation at Walls. She’s not willing to invest in more serious prep for bright poor minority kids aiming for Walls.  So she’s taken a pathetic shortcut to increasing their numbers.  Sorry that your student was passed over. Please sue DCPS for an unaccountable admissions process at Walls.[/quote]

Both things are true. DCPS/Bowser/Ferebee wanted greater representation from Wards 7 and 8 at Walls, and they incompetently landed on an admissions process (GPA/interview) that does nothing to advance that goal, while sometimes excluding kids who would have been a great fit for Walls and done very well there.

Ah yes, the stupidity of supposed good intentions.

If voters want to destroy DC public schools, I guess that's our right...but then let's not complain about things or make up a hundred random "instutional" excuses.[/quote]
