At the time of selection they don't but they do look at demographics after the fact that how we know more low-income Asians benefited than other groups. |
What kind of a racist saddist are you to reply to your own racist comment? |
Your numbers are false. FCPS has demographic information of all of the students who apply to the school but those demographic identifiers are not disclosed to the people evaluating the applications. |
sad and unjust attack |
The data they shared showed the numbers went way up once they fixed the selection process. |
You can't excel at technology (well, outside of IT) or especially engineering without math. And many sciences use advanced math as a gatekeeper. To use one famous example, Temple Grandin is not a vet because she couldn't pass the math the gatekeepers set up. She still writes/speaks about that experience. |
Agree. Everyone sees right through to the racial motive of the prior FCPS school board who drastically altered the admissions policy. Speaking of which: - if TJ is a Virginia Governor’s school open to Loudoun, Falls Church and Arlington residents, then why was the FCPS school board alone permitted to re-write the admissions standards?? Shouldn’t that responsibility have gone to the DOE? And if so, - are the changes ultra vires? |
I am sure someone said it already but this drop in ranking has nothing to do with new admission process and is nothing to worry about as the ranking of top schools is said to be very volatile: https://www.baconsrebellion.com/wp/a-rejoinder-on-the-tj-fall/amp/ |
lol. C’mon man, stop the gaslighting. |
What do you mean? |
I do not believe you. TJ’s drop in ratings is the result of the prior school board’s revision of the admissions requirements. |
"I reject reality and substitute my own.". That's supposed to be a joke, not words to live by. |
- you left out the author of the opinion-piece you linked: - Dick Hall-Sizemore. Isn’t he related to Rachna Sizemore, the Berkeley grad who helped write the revisions to TJ admissions? http://www.baconsrebellion.com appears to be a leftist-only opinion site pretending to be news. |
Are the facts from the article false? That the metrics are all based on the data from 2021-22 (students admitted before the changes in admission criteria)? And that tj rank was #10 just few years ago, in 2018? |
They leveraged the pandemic crisis to pause entrance tests and used the George Floyd protests to make this change permanent. This opened the floodgates to admit students with lower academic qualifications, leading to a decline in the overall competence of the student body. |
