[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]first people said there shouldn't be a test. then they said the interview and gpa process was bad. now they're saying the gpa and recomendation process is bad. Seems like no one will be happy whatever happens. I'm sad for the kids that didn't get a chance to interview. If there are quotas or whatever by ward or school, it's certainly not something that should be publicized / released. [/quote] Parents who feel entitled will always want the process to make it so their kid gets in. And they would never call into question a process that resulted in their kid getting in, even if it were unfair. Some underrepresented families (like mine is) might also think the process is unfair for our own reasons, but overall, it’s usually the privileged folk who are screaming about SWW even though the school is 85% NOT low income. All of a sudden, these parents are social justice warriors over a .1-.3 GPA difference when their kid doesn’t get an interview. But where are all these people the rest of the time? Do they fight for equity and fairness for kids outside of their SWW application? Sorry, not sorry, but I can’t sympathize with those particular folks. [/quote]
