[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This New Yorker of color is going to state the obvious: the solution definitely isn't dumbing down admissions standards to magnet high schools like DCPS and Bowser have done at Walls.

When I prepped for the test to Brooklyn Tech in the 80s, from my Title 1 middle school, I could take advantage of structured, free and well-resourced test prep programs in my borough funded by the city government.  I also had access to reasonably good GT education in NYC public schools from grades 3-8.

As long as DC rejects GT ed, you can shout "check your privilege!" all you want at UMC parents of various races without that making a darn bit of difference.

Don't shoot the messenger, vote for DC politicians who advocate for more rigor and an end to social promotion in K-8 education in our public schools.  David Catania used to talk like that on the city council and during his mayoral run.  The fact that Stuart Hobson recently dumped honors English doesn't bode well for Ward 6, or Walls for that matter.[/quote]

ITA. I always wonder what will become of the few kids who are getting PARCC 5s while 70-80% of those classmates are failing. They deserve a GT program.
