[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]E.L. Haynes Public Charter School has more U.S. Presidential Scholars Program candidates than Sidwell Friends School.  Who would have thought?[/quote]

It says that they happen to have a strong program, but also that the individual kids they have this year are very bright. Sometimes people think it's all about which school and forget that there are BRIGHT KIDS EVERYWHERE, even (gasp!) at DC public schools and in publics elsewhere.
Bright kids who work hard and have family support can go far, even if they are at a (good) DC public.

Congrats to all the kids who worked hard![/quote]

I agree with the congrats, but the sentences above that are a straw man. Of course there are smart kids everywhere, this is perhaps especially obvious in DC publics. One would think, however, that the city's top private, attended by children of presidents and with an excellent endowment and all the alumni and parent support one could ever hope for, might have more. Don't do a disservice to all the DC recipients by writing things like the above. It is juvenile. [/quote]
