[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for sharing the requirements. Am I the only one who thinks that family and parent interviews seem a bit strange for a public school? I get why it is done but this seems to privilege kids with “good” families or higher-income families. I think an orphaned kid or one without active parents would be much more deserving of a spot. Hopefully this is being considered if family members cannot show up at an interview. [/quote] It could also be a negative for high income families if they have filled enough of those spots and would like to balance the class with just as motivated parents who aren’t as affluent. The meeting the families is about looking for commitment but also ensuring diversity among the class.[/quote] That sounds like absolute speculation. [/quote] Sounds like accurate insight. [/quote]
