The Truth About New York City's Elite High Schools
Eh... I don't know. One thing I definitely can say is Bronx Science was a POC school. White people existed, but they were the minority. So that's why I don't feel like it's a discrimination issue per say and more of... just fucking man up and study. For example, I came from Fieldston. That was not a test-based school. At all. I had to learn how to fill in bubbles on scantrons and shit because we simply did not do that. Math also wasn't one of its strong points either (more of a liberal arts, fine arts place), so I had to hit the books and practice to take the test. And I spent all of Freshman year adapting because Science is a test-based school. Yeah, you gotta come to class and do homework, but holy shit I remember weekly English quizzes, math was every other week on a Wednesday, my physics teacher made sure we had at least a test a month. If you can't handle that from the start, how the hell are you expected to survive?
