[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t believe that that poster is a current volunteer at Banneker. I believe, based entirely on the DCUM archives, that they were an Ivy alumni interviewer at Banneker until roughly a decade ago when they were removed from that position, an incident about which a person identifying as their spouse posted at the time. Since then, they have posted consistently on Banneker threads, with the constant theme that Banneker has to attract more white and Asian students, and that to do so, the school must become a test-in magnet like the one they attended in 1980s NYC. I would not put much weight on their comments, and I would not worry about encountering them at Banneker today. [/quote]

Whatever.  Banneker isn't short on volunteers.  PP isn't wrong that it wouldn't hurt Banneker to beef up its academics and ECs here in the post Affirmative Action era. I wouldn't put much weight on the comments of parents who come here to claim that Banneker is stellar as is. There are certainly many good teachers and the building is much better than it used to be, but the administration is stuck in a different decade, along with the college counselors.[/quote]
