Forcing a school for high achievers to accept those who are academically unable to do the work is a recipe for disaster for everyone involved.

I'll tell you exactly what will happen if this goes through. The black and Hispanic students who could not pass the entrance exam but who were put into these elite schools anyway will NOT be able to keep up with the work from Day 1. They will not understand half of what the teacher is saying. Their notetaking skills (already seriously deficient due to Commie Core dumbing down of academic skills) are virtually non-existent. They don't know what to do with themselves during a class if they can't take out their cell phone to text, watch movies during class, or use the phone to do mischief on others. They will squirm in their seats out of boredom. They will ask for the hall pass and then disappear for the rest of the class. They will meet up with fellow forced-entry students and wander the halls, causing trouble. These elite schools are so serious about academics, there are SIGNS in the halls warning people in the halls not to talk, because learning is going on. Can you imagine the disruption to the other kids trying to learn while these frustrated students wander the halls? If they're not in the halls, they will disrupt the class to amuse themselves and mask the fact that they can't keep up.

No one will be able to learn, but the libtards will insist that it was the right thing to put the deficient students into those schools. PC garbage will have been upheld, while the actual purpose of the elite schools will have been destroyed, and such schools will never exist again.

I've been there as an educator and seen exactly this go on with libtard programs to have "more minority students in honor classes" in regular schools.

These schools likely don’t even have any remedial classes for incoming ninth-graders, except possibly for English Language Learners, who may be a little behind, and special needs students, which every school has some population of.

Any student arriving without knowing the basics of, say, Pre-Algebra, will be failing Algebra from the second week onward, and flunking out by the end of the first semester.

These a-holes have declared war on people like me. As I said earlier, I don’t care whether their kids’ education is ruined or not. In fact, I hope it is.

And so our betters finally get to benefit from the liberal policies they have forced on the rest of us. I was in second grade when bussing started in Georgia. What you describe is exactly what has been happening since 1970.Only the liberal elite in Manhattan managed to exempt their children from the consequences.Now the chickens as they say have come home to roost.
