[quote=Anonymous][quote] Who, by name, is blocking the creation of exam schools like Stuyvestant in Washington, D.C.?[/quote] Good question, anyone? Technically, as politicians are quick to point out, we already have several high school exams schools - Banneker, Ellington and Walls. What we don't have are highly competitive admissions for these schools, like Stuyvesant, or great rigor at them, mainly because we don't have test-in elementary or middle-school G/T programs feeding said exam high schools. All evidence suggests that you can't create "exam schools like Stuyvesant" without first creating well-run (meaning broad-based efforts to draw in and nurture low-SES talent) and well-funded G/T programs, and running them for at least a decade.
