[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Banneker and SWW are the best in DC, then they should get higher then average test scores, even with poverty. We need a new, harder, magnet school.[/quote]

You don't make any sense.  The kids are poor and poverty matters.  Are the kids just as smart as those in privates, absolutely.  You can't make up 8 years of a lack of exposure in 4.  Start your school if you are so hung up on SAT scores.  You are the one getting left behind or wasting your money on privates when it's not necessary.

I have friends who went to Bronx Science and Brooklyn Tech.  Those schools have resegregated, just as TJ has.  You favor scores instead of the whole child.  Remember, Asian countries do great in testing, but the US still has a stronger economy.  That means being successful is more important than scores.

Hell - home school.  Your kid can be incredibly bright.  I hope to God they go into the sciences b/c otherwise, they will be so damn odd, no one will want to hire them.[/quote]
