[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Feeling a bit down about kid not getting SWW interview. I know there are many more qualified applicants etc. [/quote] +1. And I'm not sure there are too many *more* qualified applicants -- I think there must just be a big cluster at the top (4.0, top math track, etc.)[/quote] Much easier said than done this week, but if you think bigger picture and not about individual students, [b]it is a good problem that there are so many high performing students [/b]applying to high schools. Already in the past few years we have seen increased enrollment at Banneker, McKinley, and the beginning of an increase at Eastern. (I am not as familiar with all of the high schools, there may be more too). I am the parent of a 7th grader so I know I will be stressing this time next year as well, but I do think it is not as dire as people think [/quote] I really wish you were right but I fear what's really happening is rampant grade inflation and ever lower standards.[/quote] NP and I do think this is a big part of it.[/quote] +1. It’s THIS. Kids are definately not smarter and standards are so much lower. Grade inflation is rampant.[/quote]
