[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On college readiness I think the gap is between what it takes to get in and how to succeed in college. The GPA requirement is achievable without good study habits at several middle schools. Then you’re put in a situation where you have to work a lot on your own and it’s academic culturally in ways many kids are not exposed to. They make the kids work and if they don’t know how to grind every day, there are consequences for only doing half the homework. They don’t solve it for you. A better school would probably hedge the gap. I don’t think that’s SWW, but rather a Banneker with more dedicated after school support eg staffed study hall. And who knows how much that would cost.

This has not been our experience. Teachers have office hours daily, during multiple times (lunch, after school, etc) so there is plenty of availability for support. [/quote]

There are also multiple days of afterschool tutoring available with kids in need of additional support directed to it. I don't think the 8:12 PP could have any actual experience with Banneker and still say these things.  How exhausting.
