[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just sounds like an anxious parent of an eighth grader trying trying to figure out what to tell her kid to help him get ready for the essay test. Maybe grab a little intel from DCUM or crowdsource a halfway decent guess. [/quote]

Nope. Just a DCPS parent sick and tired of watching DC destroy the few good schools we have in the name of equity. [/quote]

NP. Wow, overt racism. Really? I pray I don't know you IRL. Whatever privilege you were handed in life and subsequently handed that privilege over to your child, does not mean you or your child are better than anyone else. I get it. You are afraid of equity because it means you can't just use your privilege to succeed. You actually have to use merit.

Your child was allowed to start the race before the flag went down. Now, a referee is saying "Wait, the race was rigged. It is not fair that your kid started to run before the race actually began. We need equity. You are furious. But even still neither you nor your child will be penalized. Just stay where you are, but I'm going to stop the timer for a few seconds to try to let the other kids try to catch. Don't worry. I will not let them catch up because I can't start the game over, but they can try. " Now, your child is STILL in the lead but you are complaining that the race was slowed down to allow the others a "fairer" chance at a better score.

Equity is not a bad word. Racism is. Learn that now. Teach your child.

Serious question, I genuinely want to know, how do you think they "score" the interview? How much actual information about a kid can be obtained in a 10-minute interview?[/quote]

I'm the PP. I think the interviewees understand that they have a smart cohort of kids that all are deserving. By the time they reach the interview, all that is left to discover is how interested the student is in the school. And how supportive are the parents. I think the interview is short because they are simply getting a feel for how committed the student/family is. [/quote]
