[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been talked about in hundreds of posts.  A true test in school of TJ caliber would skew so heavily white and high SES that it would never fly in DC. To make it appear more equitable, the standards would gave to be lowered for entry and well then you have Banneker, Mckninly and any other DC school.[/quote]

Why would it skew 'so heavily white'?  Most of the kids at TJ are Asian, whites are minorities there now.

BTW whites aren't the only ppl around here with high SES.[/quote]

Because the vast majority of kids who have the best test scores in DC are white. [/quote]

AA, high income family here.  My kid is advanced in every subject as are his peers.  Would prefer not to be lumped in your generalizations.

You are the exceotion to the rule, and you know it.  Let's be realists.

AA are increasingly represented in IT and STEM fields. I think they will dominate these fields. Wake up people, especially white people. They will be your bosses in the near future.[/quote]
New poster here. Who's to say that ethnicity will matter in any way whatsoever? It is not about the ethnicities, but instead it is about the parents, home life, school, etc. No ethnicities are better than others. Was it not Martin Luther King who said, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

It will matter when they are your boss. [/quote]
