[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm hopeful that all the absolutely obnoxious, bad attitude 8th graders leave the school and that the serious students remain.  I can't imagine that some of the kids I've seen getting sent to the office on the few occasions I've stopped by school are going to stick it out. I don't care if the first graduating class ks all AA as long as they are good students. [/quote]

New poster here.  Maybe you should care.

I wouldn't be so sure that they won't stick it out.  BASIS needs the bodies for the funds.

Banneker has graduated all AA classes for eons and it hurts the school.  The lack of diversity hurts the PTA's ability to raise money, hurts the school's ability get top students to top colleges, hurts students in making it tough for them to have the broadening experience of rubbing shoulders with upper middle class peers (who often travel internationally etc.).  My spouse recently quit interviewing Banneker kids for her Ivy each fall.  She burned out after nearly a decade without seeing one admitted, of two dozen interviewed.  Many other parents raising strong students in this city (particularly high-SES AA families) certainly will care, and BASIS will suffer as a result.
