[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most HRCS have barriers to entry of one sort of another -- originally it was the individual lottery application process, now it's the siblings of those who got in initially -- that exclude the city's poor and disenfranchised. Their absence makes everyone else feel better. It's called "creaming".[/quote] Um, except for where the earliest classes of the school went through their entire waiting lists, and many "poor and disenfranchised" students got in... and now their siblings have the same preference everyone else does. Even the most middle/upper class HRCS has a far more diverse student body than any JKLMM. And it is still a LOTTERY. Which means the "poor and disenfranchised" you are supposedly so concerned about have a better chance at getting into the few spots at HRCS that do open than they do at a JKLMM.[/quote]
