[quote=Anonymous][b]Race [u]at[/u] the Top: white and Asian Americans and the push for equity in education[/b]
Natasha Warikoo, the author of a new book on suburban schools and the competition for elite university spots, discusses the lessons she learned
https://amp.theguardian.com/books/2022/jun/04/race-at-the-top-white-asian-americans-education-equity

[i] [b]Asian and white residents of towns like Woodcrest should look beyond their own children’s needs [/b]and attend to the opportunities afforded to children beyond the town’s boundaries. They should support the building of more mixed-income housing in their neighborhoods, the expansion of busing programs designed to bring children in urban and suburban schools together at school, and social policies designed to increase educational and economic equity. [b]They should support increased opportunities for Black and Latinx children in particular, given that these groups have been historically excluded from the American dream.[/b][/i]

[i] I argue that [b]we need to think of college admissions less as an individualist meritocracy that selects the very “best”, “most deserving” young people to study at elite colleges, and instead as an organizational practice that attempts to fulfill institutional mission, one of which is to develop diverse leaders for tomorrow.[/b]

Then, I’m hoping to study the impact of admissions changes to selective public schools around the country such as Thomas Jefferson High School in Virginia and Boston Latin School. These changes were facilitated by the disruptions of the Covid pandemic – one small opportunity to expand [b]opportunity – which forced districts to rethink exam-based admissions, and how they might rethink their selection to broaden access, especially for Black and Latinx youth historically underrepresented at the schools[/b]
