The TJAAG tries to portray itself as altruistic, but they are reactive and self-centered.

The trouble with conservatives is that their world view is so deeply skewed that they can’t even CONCEIVE of a person or group doing something that is the right thing to do even if it harms themselves.

Thus they have to engage in tortured logic to somehow reverse-justify the beliefs of their enemies.

Harming themselves..how? Self serving self righteousness is all I can see from the results you have achieved. Whites 26% up, Asians 26% down.

In the first place,you lump a very diverse group of people that represent almost 50% of the world's population over 3.5billion.people if you just include China, India, Pakistan, Middle East, Bangladesh, Korea, Vietnam, Japan...Just India and China themselves have kids speaking second languages like Mandarin, Cantonese, Tamil, Hindi, Urdu. Telugu and many others..

TJ's so called Asian students have different racial backgrounds, national origins, languages, immigration status, income levels. Yet you insist on dehumanizing them by seeing them as a monolith.

All this to serve your own purposes. Look in a mirror and think how you are actually helping. Bringing your politics to schools for your selfishness is just ugly, evil and ignorant.

So, at 54% of the class, Asians are well represented.

There's no such thing as "well represented." The appropriate representation in a gifted and talented program is the percentage of people that are gifted and talented. If those people happen to be asian, then so be it

Any school with over 50% of one group is hardly diverse.

The idea to group more than half of the world population -- Dravidian, Aryans, Punjab, Hindis, Muslims, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan, Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, Chinese, Iranians, Vietnamese, Filipino ... -- into a single "race" is laughable. What's the rational? They have different culture, traditions, food, customs ...

Half of the world…half of TJ.

What’s the issue?

You will have to ask FCPS what the "issue" it is trying to "fix". They are mostly first gen immigrants. If you have to group them into a single group, first-generation immigrant is probably a more appropriate group designation as the commonality shared among the incredible diverse student body.

I guess FCPS hates immigrants. That's the issue.

I thought they were working hard to make these programs open to everyone not just a few groups heavily vested in expensive outside prep.

You must be kidding if you think the virtue-signaling, operationally challenged, low-IQ dolts on the School Board have any clue how to make a school like TJ "open to anyone."

You'll have to show that a majority of prior TJ students got there through expensive outside prep. You'd also have to show a rational basis for your determination of "expensive".

I think Curie already did this. One of several prominent prep centers accounts for over 30% of those admitted when they published the names.

You'll have to show that a majority of prior TJ students got there through expensive outside prep. You'd also have to show a rational basis for your determination of "expensive".

I think Curie already did this. One of several prominent prep centers accounts for over 30% of those admitted when they published the names.

You are spreading fake new Putin puppet.

I know Curie only accounted for 25% of the kids admitted! https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/906227.page

THey have been very successful getting kids into TJ but it's just one of several popular places that help students with their application and preparing them for selection.

Which one is popular with the low-income families?

Don't know and I think Curie may be mostly just people from Loudon so that statistic may not even include FCPS students.

The TJAAG tries to portray itself as altruistic, but they are reactive and self-centered.

The trouble with conservatives is that their world view is so deeply skewed that they can’t even CONCEIVE of a person or group doing something that is the right thing to do even if it harms themselves.

Thus they have to engage in tortured logic to somehow reverse-justify the beliefs of their enemies.

Harming themselves..how? Self serving self righteousness is all I can see from the results you have achieved. Whites 26% up, Asians 26% down.

In the first place,you lump a very diverse group of people that represent almost 50% of the world's population over 3.5billion.people if you just include China, India, Pakistan, Middle East, Bangladesh, Korea, Vietnam, Japan...Just India and China themselves have kids speaking second languages like Mandarin, Cantonese, Tamil, Hindi, Urdu. Telugu and many others..

TJ's so called Asian students have different racial backgrounds, national origins, languages, immigration status, income levels. Yet you insist on dehumanizing them by seeing them as a monolith.

All this to serve your own purposes. Look in a mirror and think how you are actually helping. Bringing your politics to schools for your selfishness is just ugly, evil and ignorant.

So, at 54% of the class, Asians are well represented.

There's no such thing as "well represented." The appropriate representation in a gifted and talented program is the percentage of people that are gifted and talented. If those people happen to be asian, then so be it

Any school with over 50% of one group is hardly diverse.

The idea to group more than half of the world population -- Dravidian, Aryans, Punjab, Hindis, Muslims, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan, Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, Chinese, Iranians, Vietnamese, Filipino ... -- into a single "race" is laughable. What's the rational? They have different culture, traditions, food, customs ...

Half of the world…half of TJ.

What’s the issue?

You will have to ask FCPS what the "issue" it is trying to "fix". They are mostly first gen immigrants. If you have to group them into a single group, first-generation immigrant is probably a more appropriate group designation as the commonality shared among the incredible diverse student body.

I guess FCPS hates immigrants. That's the issue.

I thought they were working hard to make these programs open to everyone not just a few groups heavily vested in expensive outside prep.

30 percent is majority?

Ask the person who said “You'll have to show that a majority of prior TJ students got there through expensive outside prep. You'd also have to show a rational basis for your determination of "expensive".”

It is frustrating, isn’t it? The coalition is holding a large number of kids hostage (including my kid) as they try to make their voice heard. Why not ask to stop the process for the next class? But allow this one to be seated using the criteria that we understood when our kid was applying? You aren’t going to get a test this year. All you are doing is throwing kids into confusion. My kid is an Asian male at a feeder school (so someone they claim they are advocating on behalf of) and I don’t get what the coalition is going for here.

It’s not for the kids, for sure.
