[quote=Anonymous]If the point of schools like Thomas Jefferson is to educate our best and brightest to compete on the world stage, then it’s not likely they will represent perfectly the socioeconomic make up of the county. We are going to have to decide as a society whether equality across all socioeconomic and racial backgrounds supersedes our need to educate top performers to compete at the highest levels in the world. It can’t be both. It’s nice to think it can be both and maybe someday in the future it will be, but that’s not realistic right now. Students at the higher socioeconomic levels simply have too many advantages in the first 14 years of their lives: parents who speak to them all the time, enrichment classes, tutors, extracurricular activities. You simply can’t make all of that up after age 14.[/quote]
