They had that crappy class a few years ago when they tweaked admission standards lost a ton of kids to drop backs (like twice as many as normal) and so many kids needed math remediation. That’s when they added the math word problem. They were leaving as my kid started and only had about 400 kids make it. The class had a terrible reputation and the college admissions were weak. But TJ realized they ad a problem as soon as the did math placement testing amd course corrected. Hopefully that will happen here, and the damage will be limited to one class. Then they will. Have an excuse to go. Back to race blind admissions.

Feel bad for the kids this year who missed out due to the social experiment. And for VA as a whole, because Asians are another group Dems will lose in the November election.

I cannot speak for all Asians. I'm Chinese American. Most people in my community will beg to differ.

I'm Chinese too and I disagree. This, along with the violence against our community by certain groups will definitely cause Chinese to vote Republican next year. Lesser evil at this point.

Not Chinese. Just white lady. Who do you think started the violence by calling covid the Kung-flu? But vote R all you want. They won't win.

I'm an Asian who usually votes Dem. No one seems to mention that most of the hate crimes against Asians are not by white people. It's actually by URMs

You think Trump convinced mentally ill black men to attack Asian aunties minding their business? Nah this is about bail reforms that were a nice idea but didn’t work out.

White middle aged suburban mom here. Ready to vote R for the first time ever in Nov. one of my kids is a TJ alum and the other spent a full year in 10th-11th distance learning in our basement. We need school choice. We need someone to reign in the teachers unions, we need meritocracy back at TJ. And McAwful isn’t going to get us there. Schools are more important to me than taxes, business friendly, or even guns and abortion (we love 10 minutes from the MD border).

I sincerely wish Dems would stop taking their educated White NOVA base for granted and l*listen* to what we are saying. But, they aren’t b

Easily 1/3 of the AP exams I graded were BSing and comments about the kids not wanting to take them. The kids were at the exam site. They were sitting the exam. They couldn’t be bothered to make an effort.

Are the TJ applicants different? Maybe. But I bet not that much different.

(Shrugs)

Maybe there are kids who know that this is important to Mom and Dad but they don’t want to be there and Mom and Dad are not listening when they say they don’t like it. Or they know Mom and Dad could careless and they expect them to be there. One essay that Mom and Dad never sees is all it takes to end the push and you can blame it on the admissions committee.

Or you could just assume that everyone is out to get your kid because society hates your kid.

This has always been the back door for kids who don’t want to go to TJ to get out. In previous years, you just go out and kill it on the exam, and then just write “I don’t want to go to TJ” on the SIS. There were four kids in my middle school class alone who did this because their parents wouldn’t listen to them.

Lovely. You will still be able to get an abortion, but a low income woman in central Virginia will not.

DCUM has turned into a racist redneck haven. It is not representative of the state. No need to worry what some white lady who pretends to be Asian says on here.

Are local school issues more important then democracy to you? That’s the question. Republican led states are passing laws that allow their partisan legislators to overthrow vote certification decisions of local elections officers. Do you want that happening here? Do you support the 1/6 attack on the Capitol that Republicans can’t bring themselves to truthfully describe, disavow or investigate?

Anonymous wrote:I was talking about this with my class of 2020 kid today. White kid, and thus a minority for his 4 years. Also, 2e and had a 504. He was sick sophomore year and needed surgery and came within an inch of having to drop back to his base school.

Here’s his take: the new admissions process is evil. It’s the SB and Dr. B (whom he really dislikes) taking kids who don’t have the background or skills to succeed and throwing to the wolves in order to make themselves look good. There will be a very high drop back rate, and every kid who drops back is a kid who then believes they can’t hack it in STEM. Thus, it does more harm than good to URMs.

He also says that if TJ wanted real reform, they would start in the Title I ESs, make sure opportunities like science Olympiad are evenly distributed, set up Math Counts, Science Olympiad, FIRST, Odyssey of the Mind, advanced math and similar in Titke 1 schools and create a pipeline.

And, they would have budgeted for enhanced tutoring, for late buses everyday, for buses to pick kids up in neighborhoods again instead of depots, be creating a robust mentoring program for FARMs students, and require all students to enter with at least geometry— even if that meant offering free, in person geometry classes at TJ for summer school.

His point: this is a cosmetic change only, and the most vulnerable kids will pay the highest price. He thinks FCPS is doing it this way so that they can point to the high fail rates in a couple years, say it doesn’t work, and go back to the status quo.

Having watched the SB this year, I disagreed with him on this last point. I think the SB loves quick, cosmetic fixes and didn’t want to put the effort into meaningful reform. And by the time the sh*t hits the fan, they will be past the election.

+1 on all of it. It was intentional on the part of the SB to make themselves look good, consequences be damned.

Yeah, I disagree with the new admission process at TJ but zero chance for R in VA. Period.
