[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would be the issue with a system that combines grades and a test score as elements of admission? Wouldn’t that be most effective in identifying the top students? Why are people afraid of a standardized test?[/quote] There is absolutely no ethical issue with this, because it actually was the system in DC for Walls for many, many years, until the pandemic! It's so weird to me that the city hasn't corrected this. [/quote] What is the right person/entity to contact to express this view? Is it DME? The chancellor? I confess I don't really understand how DCPS is governed.[/quote] I don’t have any personal knowledge, but what I’ve gleaned from DCUM was that the former test was used to identify a pool which was then selected by interview. I don’t think that was much more selective than the current process.[/quote]
