[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps this has been suggested before, but why not a test-based school which takes the top X number of students from each ward? This would create, essentially, a quota system for race, but race as imbedded in community choice. It would make a very selective entrance for affluent kids and a less selective one for poorer kids, but would allow a mixed population of motivated, smart students. This would be the kind of diversity I would embrace for my kids, if they were smart enough to test in that is![/quote] This sort of admission process would water down the admission process resulting in a watering down of curriculum most likely since many of the kids would most likely be years behind the others. This is not what many DC parents such as myself are clamoring for. We want a rigorous test-in school with qualified students regardless of race. An objective admission test is race blind.[/quote]
