[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like Banneker is so different from other schools that test scores can’t really be the deciding factor. Do you want your kid to go to a historical black highly academically intensive school with tons of homework and less “traditional” HS culture like sports? Or do you want your kid to have a more traditional and flexible experience in a less academically focused culture? [/quote]
I agree I wish the gentrifiers could understand this concept. [/quote]

Yuck.[/quote]

I don’t get that post. Can you explain it, please? Gentrifiers? Who?[/quote]

I think it is intended as a comment on the type of parent like the PP who believes Banneker needs to market itself to parents with a full list of college admissions … [/quote]

It's also coded racism. Get real.[/quote]

Next time the debate comes up between "white people don't choose Banneker because they are racist" and "white people don't choose Banneker because they expect they are not really wanted there," the "gentrifiers" post above should be Exhibit #1.  SMH.[/quote]

The school doesn't do shadow days so unfortunately prospective students have no way of figuring out whether such silly notions are confined to idiotic boosters or whether there are students who also harbor such prejudices towards those without multi-generational roots in the city.[/quote]
