Again, feel free to go someplace else. Banneker isn’t for you.[/quote]

Many families will including this minority family.

[b]The dead horse is the Banneker people who play the race card when UMC white families make other choices[/b].[/quote]

What? What are you talking about?![/quote]

Search the Banneker threads.  Lots of posts accusing families of being racist on why they don’t choose Banneker.  It’s not race.  It’s because of poor SAT scores and the lack of robust extracurriculars and clubs.

Most high performing kids with a solid education can easily score 1200 plus with no effort and are involved in many extracurriculars in addition to sports.  Why would they send their kid to a school with a subpar SAT average with barely any extracurriculars or clubs and sports?

These families make other choices.  But the Banneker crew defend the school by saying it’s because of racism.  Ultimately, these people enable DCPS to continue to have low standards and continue the status quo.  [/quote]
