I stopped reading when PLF made the argument that the Admissions Office was free to use the previous admissions process to select students instead of developing a new process. They plainly are not as two of the exams that were previously used no longer exist and developing a plan for assessing the Quant-Q, using it to cull a list of semifinalists, and then gathering teacher recommendations would almost certainly drive the process well into the fall.

I actually love the idea of transitioning TJ to a 10th-12th or even 11th-12th grade school. There are virtually no classes that freshman or sophomores take that are not offered at the base schools.

Just do not seat the class of 2026 until next year. Expand the other classes if needed using PSATs/GPAs.

Done, simple.

This is an idea what should at least be discussed by the school board. It would help solve the problem that there are waaay more kids interested and qualified for the advanced TJ courses than there are current slots.

Nope. TJ is a full-service high school. Eliminating freshmen from the environment would have devastating effects on all of their non-STEM programs. Additionally, if you know ANYTHING about TJ, you know that the freshman year is absolutely crucial for students to adjust to the environment and the level of rigor.

What you have here is folks panicking that their actions are going to result in a lottery and end up harming their kids in the process when in reality, the new admissions process didn't have an enormous impact on their kids.

The primary mission of TJ is education. Education is delivered from course work. The freshman classes could ALL be delivered at the base schools. Extracurriculars can be done outside of school hours.

This is an idea that should be on the table if FCPS loses the emergency stay order.

The school board really should have had the courage to completely rethink TJ instead of just focusing on the admissions process. Now, the Spring of 2022 is another opportunity to do so.

Yes, but if they offer these classes to just anyone it will cease to be a coveted prize and parents will stop paying tens o thousands to prep for it.

You can deliver courses with the same titles (except RS1, I suppose) but you simply cannot replace taking those courses with TJ teachers as part of the TJ sequence.

Trying to die on this hill proves that you literally don't understand TJ at all.

Or that they just have a different conception of what TJ could be compared to what it is today, and that you apparently feel iS tHe OnLy pOsSsSsIbLe RiGhT aNsWeR!!!1!111!!!!

..... it's a high school, not a program. The school works as it is - why change it? The only thing that needs to change is the level of access that certain underrepresented groups have to it. The school has been working on decoupling workload with rigor, and that was the primary issue with it.

This really isn't that complicated.

I'm not sure it really does work that well. I've read it's become a highly toxic environment.

Oh lord, such hatefulness towards kids. And you wonder who you got sued and lost. The judge just saw through your hate.

Why can’t the wealthy FCPS build a high school specifically for all Asians? I’m sure it would out rank TJ

Someone needs to define toxic. I can't tell if that means "ultra-competitive" or if it means "you do not feel welcomed and are excluded if you are not Asian."

“People said” — what a ridiculous source. Just as ridiculous as the stereotypical and horrible things “people said” about TJ kids and culture before the changes.

Fairfax Board of Supervisors must represent ALL the citizens of the county. Asians must make up 20% of the Board of Supervisors. Board of Supervisors must be exposed to the benefits of working in a "diverse" environment where they will be exposed to different ethnicities and cultures that is Fairfax County and that will make them a better human being and better government officials.

We need Asian Diversity & Inclusion Officer for the Fairfax County appointed immediately to promote Asians in ALL aspects of the County government. We need 20% Asians on the school board. We need 20% of Asian judges in the county. We need 20% Asian judges in the county. We need 20% of top positions in the FCPS. We need Asian principal for TJ not some fumbling fool who cannot think for herself.

It’s not a toxic environment because of the nature of the school or its programming. While TJ is a STEM-focused high school, it is a full-service environment offering the students to shine in all of the same areas that a traditional high school would.

It has been toxic because its previous admissions process admitted too many students with the same profiles and the same ambitions.

The school board really should have had the courage to completely rethink TJ instead of just focusing on the admissions process. Now, the Spring of 2022 is another opportunity to do so.

But the problem wasn't the school. It was the method by which students were selected to the school specifically shutting out Black, Hispanic, and low SES populations.

There is no need to rethink TJ, except to the extent that they're already working on decoupling workload and rigor. The model works - it just needs to work for a broader segment of the population.

It’s a problem when there are hundreds of kids that were interested in and qualified to do the classes that are only offered at TJ. Example - the vast majority of CS classes are only offered at TJ.

Expanding access to education should be the goal. Making TJ an Academy or an 11th-12th grade school would do that.

Nah. TJ is for top 1-2% of students in the N. VA. not not top 20% of students.

TJ admits the top 15%. If you want an exclusive program for top 2%, move to moco.

I believe its less than 3% of the 8th grade population.

Seems like the job to get is that of Diversity officer!

Top diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) employees at major public universities earn massive six-figure salaries for leading initiatives that some experts found to be ineffective and instead enforce a "political orthodoxy."


A review of salary data shows that the universities of Michigan, Maryland, Virginia and Illinois, plus Virginia Tech, boast some of the highest-paid DEI staffers at public universities, a Fox News review found. These institutions' top diversity employees earn salaries ranging from $329,000 to $430,000 – vastly eclipsing the average pay for the schools' full-time tenured professors.

Four of the colleges justified the DEI leaders' salaries, citing the executives' seniority and the importance of their responsibilities. The University of Illinois did not return a request for comment.

Experts identified these universities as having some of the most bloated DEI staff in the country and said they each rack up millions in costs each year.

Someone has fallen in love with the copy and paste button… as long as we’re talking about people who can’t think for themselves.
