[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCPS doesn’t want an entrance exam for Walls. The administration at the school is not strong and therefore does not push back on anything DCPS wants. So there will not be an entrance exam again. If you want one, start with pressuring DCPS. They ultimately control that decision.[/quote] Fine...then they should just use a GPA cutoff and a lottery. I am increasingly disturbed that a teacher just admitted they can determine "fit" based on this interview ESPECIALLY given that these have been video interviews during a pandemic. Which kids were dealing with (or were simply nervous about dealing with) unstable Wifi or glitchy cameras on old laptops during their interviews? Which kids are self conscious about the backgrounds that might appear during their videos? Would like to hear more about how Walls is thinking about equity while at the same time using these interviews to determine "fit" and "strong family support"...[/quote]
