"Back then, there was no such thing as “test prep”: You simply showed up, took the test, and went home. Several months thereafter, some of us were informed we’d been accepted to “Science,” as the school was known colloquially..."
When I googled "high+intelligence+elite+schools" I had a pop-up tell me my child's IQ score could be improved in order that he/she could get into an elite school. It had testimonies of all things. You have to wonder how these preppers are even legal.
Re The Jewish percentage in Brooklyn's school.... similar story here in N.C. where I went to a private school in high school (I was about to drop out of public). The atmosphere went from a public school with all its fights, etc. to a place where high achievement was valued. Wonderful place. I just wish I could've gone earlier. Playing catchup with that crowd was tough.
