[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Test-in, every time someone makes that statement it makes me cringe.  Why is it for some odd reason do people think that idea has not been played around before they moved here to DC?  It is not that a test-in would succeed but at what cost because with a population that is majority AA then what would the capacity of the school wound-up holding?  Considering the percentage of whites is less than 10% there's no way a school system of this culture would have a test-in school that would benefit that population and neglect the other 90%[/quote]

So it is OK to neglect advanced learners??? Who said anything about neglecting students who do not test in to a test-in school? DCPS has enough money to have good test-in schools as well as open admission neighborhood schools. As for for figures on the white population, I think you are way off. There are also tons of private school families who would love the chance for a truly rigorous test-in school like TJ. And you forget that there are black students who would benefit from a rigorous test-in school as well.[/quote]
