“Vigil” for TJ This Weekend

[Anonymous]

A lot of kids prep for the test, but most of them would have gotten in anyway. Their parents just pay for it as an extra measure of safety.

Are there some there - probably, but certainly not the majority. The majority are smart kids interested in STEM and typical HS things whose after school socializing is mainly hampered by the fact that the kids come from all over NoVa. I suspect quite a number of posters in this forum have no actual experience with TJ.

Could the school benefit from more diversity? Absolutely. So let the TJ Admin folks fix that without blowing up the school.

If 28% of the class 2024 came from one test prep center, ONE, and we know that there are many test prep centers in NoVa, I think we can definitely say that most kids at TJ prep.

Asian parent of a TJ kid here - my kid didn't prep, and neither did a friend who also got into TJ. We know a lot of kids who did though, and exactly one of them got into TJ. This is anecdotal, of course. But it is statistically obvious that most kids who prep don't get into TJ.

Bless your teeny tiny heart. You obviously have a Fox News understanding of what 'statistically obvious' means.

No sweetheart, it is you who have a fox news understanding of things.
Most of you are pro-GOP and pro-Trump.

This isn’t about politics, though you’re trying very hard to make it so. You have the corruption of jealousy and racism eating away at your soul - if you are a Democrat, you are indeed a Democrat In Name Only.
