[quote=Anonymous]the kids who are being denied are the kids who cannot afford private school. High SES families (black, white Asian) will find other opportunities. Middle class and lower-income kids who cannot afford to move easily, are the ones who most need this. even if a test-in or application middle school with a seriously rigorous curriculum were initially only 25% black (which I doubt would happen, since as posters mentioned because of interest and population there are tons of AA families who are looking for better schooling), that would still be a significant portion and an opportunity that those kids simply do not have now. Self-selection/lottery and weeding out through heavy homework like a Basis model will not work for many families. [/quote]
