[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like near unanimous support here for the entrance exam to return. Let's reach out to the media and start the conversation.[/quote]

By "unanimous" do you mean the 4-5 repeat posters? On DCUM? LOL Of course, you can "go to the media" with whatever you want, but I find it HILARIOUS that you are basing your idea of "unanimous support" from a DCUM echo chamber. Be sure to tell the media all about your convo on DCUM. [/quote]

What reasonable person is opposed to an entrance exam? [/quote]

There are plenty of reasonable people who do not favor an entrance exam. There are reasonable arguments for and against. Just because those arguments against are not your arguments does not make them unreasonable. [/quote]

No reasonable person would support the current Walls admissions process.

Imagine if a selective college counted GPA for 10%, 2 teacher letter recs as 30%, and a 5-minute interview and 1 paragraph essay as 60%.

Completely absurd.[/quote]

+1.  Sure, they have a floor of 3.7 but that is meaningless in DC with massive grade inflation.

Worse, colleges look the rigor of transcripts and re-weight to ensure that an A in PE doesn't count the same as an A in accelerated math.  Walls doesn't do that either.

Totally ridiculous admissions sytem.

If folks believe DC has “massive grade inflation” and other problems why not move out of the city? Longer commute, sure, but except for a small number of jobs, people do not need to live within the city lines. People do have a choice. [/quote]

I'm not sure I understand why it's easier (or at all more desirable) for everyone who prioritizes education to move out of the city, rather than for DCPS to start operating like a normal school system.[/quote]
