I don’t sense those who benefit from the status quo at TJ have much, if any, empathy for people who see what is supposedly a public school in their midst closed off and functioning like a private school. A lottery won’t change everything, but at least it assures a student body drawn from more parts of the county.

There is a correlation between the "draw" of the school and how much time/effort students/families are willing to commute.

The lottery will make things less of a draw and therefore less people will be willing to commute. As this cycle continues, it will be, again, a middle-of-the-road school, that will be mostly a neighborhood school. That is fine, but that will be the result.

The fact that students/families sacrifice a lot to come to TJ is reflective of the fact that the school is good.

How do? TJ cannot be “mostly a neighborhood school“ if seats are apportioned by region or pyramid. You appear to use the term “neighborhood school” to describe any school with a different profile than TJ has today, which is quite condescending.

In dynamic terms, I can see this happening. This is just my personal opinion. By neighborhood, I mean an average school. Sorry, if I am mislabeling or if I sound condescending.

But perhaps, TJ will be able to keep most of its faculty and funding intact, manage to find a way to lift up URM performance within TJ with extra effort, and not fall too much in terms of academic performance overall. If a lottery does happen, this would be the hope I guess.

What's next after lottery? Change grades to pass/fail because the lottery kids can't keep up?

Keep dreaming. With lottery, TJ will not be the same. Teachers will leave, funding will cease, and academic performance will fall. Anyone at TJ knows this. It is not URMs who will do this, but the lottery.

In its current form, it's toxic. So it needs to be changed.

The "neighborhood school" poster needs to go, too. She's either clueless or trolling.

Oh well. Maybe all that money spent on test prep centers can be invested in something more productive.

Do what Stanford does, provide remedial math classes to help those students who may have come from middle schools with inadequate academic support.

Why is it toxic?

Because it is a lottery, many will have had adequate academic support, or they might not have, but instead have had pursued other endeavors instead of academics. Your remedial class will be filled with the privileged with a minority who truly deserve it.

Those idiots advocating for the change is just like Trump - If I don't get in it must be rigged. Go follow Trump.

Why do these people come here and then get upset when Americans don’t want them imposing their antiquated caste systems on our schools?

Yeah, I have to agree. It’s not just a coincidence that Chinese and Indian immigrants — from places with high-stakes, winner-take all testing that pay little to no attention to students who aren’t at the top — want to impose these same rules here.

It won't be that bad, kids will still lottery in from high SES places due to TJ's facilities. TJ will just be similar to Oakton HS now.

How are these Asian students discriminated against? They get into top tier high schools both public and private. Their parents seem to be able to pay for top tier private? How is that discrimination? They also get into top tier colleges. The kids that are discriminated against are the AA in which the Mom is working 2 jobs to earn $30,000 per year.
