[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems DCPS/Walls think having an entrance exam for Walls is an equity issue. Have any of these other schools that have re-instated their exam addressed this issue?[/quote] IMHO, Chicago addressed their HS magnets equity issue thoughtfully half a century ago and hasn’t stopped. Chicago alone admits magnet students via college type comprehensive applications. They also talent scout exceptionally capable poor minority students and help them prep to apply, essentially from a young age. Michelle Obama and her brother came up through the system of course. By contrast, DC increasingly goes for cheap shortcuts to promoting equity, which stinks. Where’s the ES and MS GT programming in DCPS? [/quote]
