LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: D.C. is right to remove barriers for selective schools. But they shouldn’t lower the bar. By Editor On Dec 27, 2019 Last updated Dec 27, 2019 18 Share D.C. SCHOOLS are making changes to the admission policies for selective high schools so that more students will get a better chance to enjoy those schools’ advantages. It’s good that the system wants to remove barriers to opportunity, but it is also important that standards are not lowered or the system dumbed down. Indeed, officials should recognize that the best way to give students a shot at getting into these schools is with a good education that prepares them for the schools’ academic rigor. 18 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
