The only thing outdated in your post is your nephew's approach to test prep. The SAT book is what I used when I graduated in the 80's. Today most kids benefit from test prep classes, like the ones offered at expensive learning centers. This is what I did for lay 2 DC--and what a lot of parents are doing to give their kids a leg up.

Furthermore, your response ignores the fact that many Banneker students are dealing with situations and traumas that don't allow them the extra prep. No Khan Academy videos if you don't have a computer or Internet access. No time to use internet on library if you're working after school. What if you don't know where you'll be sleeping after school from one day to the next? Don't underestimate the challenges some of those kids face.

PS
[b]I'm more impressed with the fact that Banneker boasted of 2 graduates with acceptance into all 8 Ivy leagues last year.[/b]

Shouldn't a "rigorous" test-in high school full of poor minority kids send a lot of kids to top colleges? It is a sought-after hook. [/quote]
