[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who gives a shit what some crap publication thinks about high schools? No one takes US News seriously anymore. [/quote] +1 a few years back, CHEC aka Bell Multicultural HS was in the top 50 even though even though it is a known fact that the school is a drop out factory. It was Maria Tukeva and her PR people who made a big deal about it until they realized how rediculous it sounded and looked. Teachers were writing blogs about how students who could barely read at 6th grade level were forced to take multiple AP classes. The ranking of the schools depend heavily on the number of AP classes students are "forced" to take[/quote] Just because one school was able to game the system one year does not allow you to throw out the baby with the bathwater. And the baby is that we don't have a single school in the TOP 200, while [b]Whiteman,[/b] Churchill etc may go up or down a little each year, we are not even in the game, man[/quote] Plop![/quote] It's just an easy mistake. The E and T keys are very close together on a keyboard. 18:26's finger obviously slipped. [/quote]
