Don’t Scrap the Test, Help Black Kids Ace It . Commentary on New York’s elite high schools has focused wrongly on access over preparation.

Black kids have trouble with a test that gets you into top public schools. Dump the test or help black kids get better at it? Choose the latter and many think you’re somewhere between unenlightened and mean. This underestimates black kids, I argue. https://t.co/yezu8o2sKc
