[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Washington Latins "model", Boston Latin, is a test in school. Since WL is not, there has been a tension in its mission/vision since it's inception. This is not new. It's the plus and minus of being far more equitable (in one way - lottery based with weighted preferences that are not academic) than BL. If you disagree with that, you would need to change its structure to test in - like a Walls, Ellington, Banneker, TJ or Boston Latin. It is what it is. [/quote] TJ is an application school but there is no longer a test to get in.[/quote] There is a "test" in the sense that you must present a package, be evaluated and accepted ( and many aren't). That's a form of gatekeeping that allows schools to shape their student bodies, esp when it comes to academic prowess .Apart from the weightings for sibling, at risk etc. Which has zero to do with demonstrated aptitude, Latin is a lottery [/quote]
