Asra is just butthurt that her kid never told her.

Poor kid. She’s still using him to advance her political agenda.

Principal should resign and be done with it.

Is that why you’re pushing this faux issue? Because you don’t like the principal?

Overwhelming majority of the TJ students do not like her so she should resign.

Did you get in trouble for something at school? Is that why you don’t like her?

It’s no secret Bonitatubus is a disaster.

Next time try not to get in trouble

I’m not in trouble, Karen (or Vanessa). But Bonitatibus certainly has managed to alienate many folks with her clumsy “leadership.”

Were you goofing off it’s lunch? Sexting in class? Cheating on a quiz?

Because the National Merit Scholarship Corporation has a specific algorithm that is state-based. Further, the recognition is from an organization, and the principal does not have a right to withhold that direct information from parents, especially mostly immigrant parents who don't know America's National Merit system.

The Commended Student score cutoff is based on national statistics - this year it is 207 for EVERY STUDENT IN THE COUNTRY. A quick Google search would tell you that.

As the parent of students who were both semifinalists and commended, I know we received letters directly from the National Merit Corporation informing them of their status. Semifinalists also have to complete a further application online to become finalists and qualify for scholarships.

The text you received said that schools are notified FIRST - it doesn't say that students are never directly notified.

Please get a new hobby.

Why is this lie keep getting repeated. Commended students are notified by the school, not from the National Merit Corporation. That is why this is such a scandal. Families were left i the dark that their child was eligible to apply for scholarships.

The wacky malcontents are the ones like Bonitatibus with an odd "white savior" obsession. The TJAAG is full of them.

The principal could be sued personally from those students if this move was intended to diminish their achievements and caused them to lose out on many scholarships. I was really disappointed to hear about this story because I hoped someone at this level would understand the stakes involved.

She doesn't care- she has a job security as long as she panders to black students and attack Asian students.

Just like Asra has followers as long as people like you believe her BS.

I would be embarrassed if my mother was broadcasting to a National audience that 1) I was not bright enough for NMSF and 2) disorganized and did not inform her of key school emails.

[Anonymous]

I really don’t understand—did the kids receive an official notification of their status via their official email account in a timely manner? Can someone confirm that with a simple yes or no?

This is the type of weird post I don't get from the Bonitatibus crowd. On the one hand, they want to increase the diversity at TJ and support changes to the admissions process to admit less qualified candidates to make that happen, and yet they suggest students should be embarrassed if their PSAT scores are only in the top 3%, but not top 1%, nationally.

From every indication, TJ will almost surely have fewer Semi-Finalists and fewer Commended students in the future, so start getting ready to spin that now.

Isn’t commended kind of a nothing anyway for a school like TJ? You don’t get a scholarship with commended and I assume those students with very high scores submitted them when allowed to do so.

Because the principal waited a week or so to inform them? This is crazy talk. You people need to find a new hobby.

Now that they're selecting the top kids from all schools, the future looks bright. In the past, the third-rate preppers who had to buy the test answers were dragging down the stats.

Considering you couldn't even manage to format that correctly, you really shouldn't be saying that those that don't qualify for NMSF should be "embarrassed."
