To the Editor:
In the wake of this pandemic, it is essential to continue to conversation about what the future of public schooling in Boston will look like. As a graduate of Boston Latin School, and a lifelong resident of Dorchester, I believe the exam school administration process needs change, but I also think that an exam should remain the deciding factor of a student’s admission.
I agree with others that the zip-code policy is not the way to go for future exams, but that suggested option highlights some important disparities. The problem lies with the accessibility of resources that help students preparing to take the test, and, further, the accessibility of ways to get to the test itself.
