[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think you understand holistic admissions and its benefits for building a balanced community. I think want a school where people get admitted off of only strict quantitative instead of qualitative measures. That’s fine. You’re free to start a school for find one that suits your preferences. To demand private schools do x,y,z kind of reminds me of the communist style school system my family purposely moved to get away from.[/quote]

Or the old Thomas Jefferson HS selection process based predominantly on test scores, class rankings, and GPAs. I’m totally ok if a school wants to use these as their criteria but my child wouldn’t be a good fit there. I appreciate that there are other options out there. [/quote]

My URM DC had straight A's and passed the placement test for a Big3 school, so I'd be damn, if someone said that they got in solely because of DEI or whatever other propaganda people on DCUM always say. Well qualified black/brown folks get rejected too from all of these schools. Sometimes in "favor" of your son/daughter! There are people, I know who got in nowhere and were waitlisted and they have good jobs, smart children, yet for whatever reason no school found them to be a fit.

Jasmine Crockett said put her resume next too Lauren Boebart or Marjorie Taylor Green and decide who are the real DEI hires. Holistic admissions matter, because in our country and community different races, financial circumstances, ethnicities etc co-exist together. [/quote]
