[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] They want to have more diversity in the magnets. One of the things recommended was to change the admissions criteria to achieve this. This was discussed in the other thread. starting from here: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/60/547680.page[/quote] Changing the admissions criteria does not necessarily mean lowering the standards. Why do you assume that it does?[/quote] If it means admitting less qualified students, then they will end up having to water down the curriculum so that the less qualified students don't struggle too much. "Less qualified" means those that don't score as high on the tests but are admitted anyways just because they are URM compared to Asian/white kids that score the same and are not admitted.[/quote]
