| If you admit by lottery, TJ teachers will leave in droves. They chose to work at TJ for high level teaching. Or they could teach at base schools. They will never say this publicly of course. There is no stomach for a lottery. Youngkin has already nixed it. |
I get that you want to believe this, but many might be happier since the students would have comparable talent but a lot fewer of the privleged high-pressure tiger parents. |
or remove everything but the experience factor |
A lot of parents weren't happy that it was harder to game admissions. |
They would also need to remove the 1.5% per middle school allocation. If yiu are reading the judges order in plain language, they cannot use anything that was changed in the fall of 2020. |
I would love to see them keep the Special Education and Economically Disadvantaged experience factors. |
I would love to see them scrap the 1.5% and just divide all the seats evenly per capita from all of the middle schools in FCPS |
Asian prospective TJ students are already avoiding TJ in droves. The court has validated their belief that the School Board and Dr. Brabrand are racist towards Asian people. Most of those who can afford it are opting for private school. |
Those that can get in plus afford it are few in number right now. As Asians grow in number and wealth, private HSs are also going to start capping Asians more. They have always preferred a diverse mix with a large URM number. |
You seem to really hate Asians. |
I'll be honest... we're not that concerned with what's best for YOU, because there are a lot more people than just YOU to consider. We are more concerned with what's best for TJ. And we have enough experience to know that pretty well. |
More non-falsifiable nonsense. |
That's false. If you read the judge's order in plain language, they cannot use the exact process that existed in the fall of 2020. |
We'll see. The application numbers will bear out whether or not this is true but I'll bet you'll have about 1,500 Asian applicants just like you always have. |
Do they have to have approval from the judge on a new plan or can they modify it just a little bit? Why can't they just increase the per middle school allocation to 2 or 3% skewing the demographics even more? |
