[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ has a much bigger talent pool to pull from and students who come from all over the world to attend there.

SAT scores are one aspect of a school . I was impressed by how passionate and engaged the students were in the world around them.[/quote]
Umm, it is still a test in public school. There is no reason the federal city cannot have a test in public school of the same caliber here. As it stands now the DCPS test in schools are not in the same league as TJ by a long stretch.[/quote]

Please drop the TJ.  This is a DC thread.  The conversation was why parents aren't sending their kids to Banneker but will send to Wilson.[/quote]

Actually, I am [b]not[/b] impressed with wit either Banneker or Wilson. I am interested in seeing a school in the same league as TJ right here in DC.

If Banneker were in the same league as TJ and all black, I would definitely consider sending my kid there who is not black.[/quote]

+1  Same here!

Neither Wilson or Banneker impress me and I'm African American.   It's not about race for me, but about the program/curriculum quality that a school offers. [/quote]

Really, what are you and PP doing to make the schools better. Nothing. Be the change you want and stop biatching on the Internet. Also, who cares if either of you are impressed. There are options in DC.  If you don't like the options, start your own charter school as other parents before you have; have your child apply to one of the application schools and get involved in making the school better, that is if your child can actually get into one of the schools; go private (again if your child has the smarts to apply and get accepte; or, move to FFX county and hope that your child can compete and get an acceptance letter for TJ.
