[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most want to see admissions based on STEM interest and aptitude, not demographics.[/quote] Sure, but STEM interest and aptitude across the county. Not just a few affluent middle schools. [/quote] What if the kids with the most interest and aptitude aren't evenly distributed across the county? Why are you so obsessed with whether certain middle schools are "affluent" and less interested in whether TJ is actually fulfilling the obligations of a Governor's School? [/quote] When your privileged kid is in a rich school, they have many opportunities that kids in crappy poor schools don’t. So what looks like “interest and aptitude” in your rich kids is actually a significant function of their privilege. So no, you don’t get to take all or most of the spots. Sorry.[/quote]
