[quote=Anonymous]We are talking about 14 year olds making decisions, as they are part of any process of school choice, they have to sit for the tests and interviews and they have to go to the school every day. Yes, the level of the workload matters, yes, the commute matters. It is one thing pushing your child to go to a challenging academic school when the by right options are not good. When Wilson is the default, kids feel less pressure to step up and take on more. I know very few kids from Deal applying to Banneker, I know a good number that applied to both or one of Ellington and Walls, including my own. I would completely have supported Banneker if my DC wanted to attend. Race was not part of the equation at all. [/quote]
