[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was curious about this, so thanks for posting. I think AA and Latino are under-represented at our HGC and Asian/Indian are over-represented. I was surprised to find out that there was[b] test prep going on to the tune of $600 or more[/b], so this may be influencing the demographic.[/quote] Personally, I think if a kid needs to have $600+ tutor to get into HGC, then kid doesn't belong there. Not saying all kids that have tutors are like this, but if a kid on his own can't get in, then it's questionable whether the kid belongs there.[/quote] Another reason HGCs should be abolished. They favor wealthy kids[/quote] I think school boundaries should be abolished as well. I want my kid to attend Cold Spring ES! Also, how about instituting some kind of fees for the wealthy kids and use that to pay for tutoring the poor kids? [/quote]
