[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really makes me wonder why more kids don't attempt Banneker.[/quote] Too many brown kids...be real. Not my opinion, but i've seen a lot of this on this site.[/quote]

So much for the theory that the only way to improve scores is to attract "white/affluent" students and their "likley to be involved" parents.[/quote]

True. Equally, so much for the theory (common in some education circles to pass the ball) that the only way to improve education is to end poverty. [/quote]

It's not the only way. But systemic poverty creates perpetual inequality. Especially in a district where PTA wealth makes a huge difference in staffing and school amenities. [/quote]

The public funding per student in DC is higher than most states - including those that perform better. So, please forget that PTA excuse. The resources are there. The question is how they are spent so they result in educational outcomes. [/quote]

This is misleading at best for a number of reasons, including the high percentage of SpEd students who are sent to expensive out-of-state placements in order to satisfy IEP requirements.[/quote]

Numbers don't lie.

Perhaps that is an example of questionable resource allocation. [/quote]
