[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just seems like "bring the test back to Walls" is such a doable request that makes a ton of sense, would be easy for them to implement (because they used to) and seems to have near unanimous support here. Can we just push for that? [/quote]

Why just Walls? Why not Banneker, McKinley, etc. also? G&T programs don't start in HS. Most on this board assume their kid will be admitted to Walls. That's why it's always some reason why it didn't happen and the blame game starts. If you want buy in, go all the way. [/quote]

Great point.  But we all know why no one on this forum is concerned about a test for Banneker or McKinley.  [/quote]

And that's exactly why there will be no movement in the direction they want! In order to get any traction, you have to appeal to middle and upper-middle class Black families. Going private is the default and has been for decades. Actually, the push will have to come from Black families to have any chance of succeeding. [/quote]
