[quote=Anonymous][quote]Y[b]ou're curious about why I'm curious???[/b] I'm interested because a few posters are lobbing criticism at people who don't know the details about how Banneker operates and what it's admissions situation is, so I decided to educate myself. Isn't that what people want - for posters to be educated about Banneker? So now I know that Banneker used to assign seats based on a quota system to ensure adequate black representation. Another quote from Super Reed in that article was that DCPS was 97% black at the time, so the fear of having too many white students at Banneker was nonsensical. So now I'm curious whether any of you know whether Banneker still uses a quota system. I looked at Banneker's website, and it doesn't give much detail. Does anyone know the answer?[/quote] Yes. I'm not sure why a quota system would matter for a school like Banneker.[/quote]
