[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where was the insult? The point is fair. DCPS students should be better prepped for admission to Walls, particularly poor kids. Interviews can't fix weak prep.

Who said they aren’t prepared? You make a lot of assumptions about kids at Walls and yes it is insulting.[/quote]

Absolutely not. Look at the magnet schools in San Fran and NYC, and how they set up lower-income, highly-intelligent (often first gen immigrant) kids to succeed (by offering free test prep and then sending them to rigorous, challenging schools.)

I'm entirely sure that you are a white liberal woman. [/quote]

+100. Exactly right. This NYC magnet high school grad looked into Walls. Kid got a spot but didn't take it. The interview was a complete joke.[/quote]

This is not NYC.  Why is everyone on this board comparing the two?  You all went to Bronx Science.  Congrats.  Move to NYC and apply there.  Some of your kids’ classmates at Ivies will have graduated from Walls.[/quote]
