Or private is always an option. You guys don’t need FCPS or TJ.

The private school gang is pushing for “school choice” so they can get their tuition subsidized.

You literally just made that up and do not know how school choice works.

You don’t know how the real world works.

My parents spent my entire childhood working out the logistics of transportation for our whole family, my mother was never able to drive. That’s a real issue . Try living in a small village with one bus an hour to the nearest resemblance of civilisation.

That’s what happened when Indiana implemented vouchers. The existing private school families reaped the most benefits.

It seems so obviously that you'd have to be either intentionally blind or have some other motive if you can see that offering a voucher that is only a fraction of the actual cost of a private school is not going to allow poor children to actually attend anything approaching a decent private school, but will be a nice discount for those families already paying for private school.

Such great advice. You must be a genius.

No just doing the same thing these people have been doing. They can’t game the system anymore. The party is over. If they just go somewhere up in West Virginia and get into a magnet up there, they can still say they got their kids into a magnet. Those people up their are probably easier to trick.

What? Do you mean "if you can't see" as opposed to "if you can see"? And if you are trying to say school vouchers do not help poor children, you are completely wrong and must be intentionally blind or have some other motive your teacher union put in your head.

Yeah. They can go sit in the back of the bus/move states and be silent as you victimize them. Maybe you should hate less and worry about your kids more.

My kids are good. They all did AAP and are content with going to Langley. I’m not the one crying on social media because my kids won’t get a spot I felt they were entitled to, nor have we ever tried to game the system or hated on other racial/ethnic groups because a new system is admitting a higher number of their group. And if I was hard pressed to get my kids into TJ and they weren’t admitted, I would send them to Basis. Probably a better experience there anyway.

You do realize that if you are being dumb and someone else is not, that does not entitle you to issue payback for the subjective unpleasantness of being the fool? That's not how fairness works.

Or you could move to West Virginia (or Alabuuma or wherever..) so your kids can be with their intellectual 'equals' (and so can you)

How could a school system possibly get access to tax returns?

Also wondering this. Does anyone know?

They could ask parents who want to be considered for ED preference to provide them?

The TJ admissions office is not set up to evaluate individual tax returns.

They don’t need to. Plenty of jealous people out here will tell.

Lol. FCPS wants to keep pretending that TJ Class of 2025 is 25% low income so they would just ignore. I’ve respectfully asked my school board member multiple times if the “Economic Need” experience factor is based entirely on self-reporting. No response whatsoever.


Maybe they could set up bounties like in Texas to rat out your neigbhors.

Mine are done all this drama you idiots are conjuring up at FCPS. My youngest will hopefully be joining her brother at Sidwell next year. You guys are f’ing up the whole experience for the kids. Just too much negative energy for us. You can have it.
