[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does the GPA cutoff affect low income kids? Do that have special set asides or a lower cutoff for lower income Kids or kids of color?[/quote] Why would there be a lower cutoff for kids of color? My Black child has a 4.0 from an Upper NW middle school (every term since 6th grade). That is not the case for many of her white classmates—perhaps they need some “special set asides.” My daughter is whipping their behinds academically, and she knows it.[/quote] They should do school-based quotas like TJ does. This kid doesn’t need a leg up. But at a citywide level, it seems like the sky-high GPA cut off must favor white kids, because Walls turned majority white right after they dropped the test and adopted the GPA system. [/quote]
