[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While it might skew high-SES, [b]there will also be plenty of low-SES kids who can and will make the cut[/b].  So why deny the low-SES kids the opportunity also?  Seems like cutting your own nose off to spite your face.

And also, how would a test in school get a bigger slice?  There's no inherent greater cost in running a test-in school - and in fact potentially LESS as the test-in group will probably also have less overhead in terms of disciplinary issues, special needs, et cetera - the areas that do rack up significant costs.

But what if there weren't?  Do you think the powers that be in DC would let this happen?  DC has the largest black/white performance gap of any place in the nation based on many different tests.  Any reasonably difficult test would skew very heavily white.[/quote]

Then isn't this blatant discrimination against whites?[/quote]

It's "hold the whites back - oh, and by the way, the bright blacks must suffer along with them" - typical DC mentality.[/quote]
