[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be sure to find out what the USNWR "college readiness" index means before having your discussion.[/quote]

why don't you educate us? Or why don't you just stop blowing smoke and admit that when Banneker's SAT scores are below the NATIONAL AVERAGE and it is supposed to be our TJ there is something really wrong, even if instead of being #447 it should have been... where?

Whatever college readiness is, like most other things US News & World Report has us WAY behind the top Md and VA schools.  While they may be off by 100, this is just plain an embarrassment.  We did not even have 5 schools that were RANKED people.  Take your heads out of the sand.[/quote]

No one really wants to have a true discussion about the disparities that exist in our education system.  Banneker is NOT supposed to be our TJ.  If you want to have a real discussion then read up on all the literature that discusses and tries to address the educational disparities that play out by income and race in DC and elsewhere in this country.  You can start with [i]Shame of the Nation[/i] If you've read this board long enough, YOU KNOW, that folks can't engage in a thoughtful discourse about this topic without it getting ugly.  Folks don't want to listen to the white families that go through DCPS and end up with college-ready kids. [/quote]
