Is Young Scholars still around? Was it killed by “anti-DEI” Republicans?

This is the exact opposite of the truth.

The democrats are the party pushing culture wars. Boys allowed in girls’ school bathrooms? - Obama. 87 genders and mandatory pronouns? Democrats did that, not the republicans. “Include” violent, chair-throwing kids in every class instead of suspension, expulsion, or separate schools? Obama’s DEI did that. Discourage or ban suspensions for school violence? That was Obama’s “Dear Colleagues” letter in 2014, and the policies which followed. Whole-language and Lucy Calkins replacing phonics? Democrats again. VMPI? Democrats. Abolishing gifted and talented in NYC and Seattle? Democrats.

All of these withering blows to public education come from democrats; not republicans.

DP here.

You basically proved the point the PP made.

The polarization of what should be non-issues is exactly why TJ is a fixation for people like you. Why the GOP keeps going at it because it riles you up. It fills you with indignant righteousness that you feel you need to stand up for.

You just listed a bunch of “it’s the democrats fault” immediately instead of giving a nuanced response. Think about that for a moment. Digest why you are so angry.

If you are upset your kid didn’t get into TJ- sure, you are right to be upset. But is your kid happy now? Are they going to a good college? If this has nothing to do with your kid…. Then really digest why you are upset. Why you are so quick to retaliate against any criticism against the GOP.

Is it productive? Because as a person reading your comments- it seems really sad.

And btw- there as Asians from feeder schools getting Cs in classes too. Don’t assume that the kids getting in from feeders aren’t struggling. TJ challenges all of the kids.

Exactly.

Republicans continue to use TJ as political fodder. It’s disgusting.

Asra Nomani needs to decide whether she is an advocate actively involved in the TJ litigation on one side or whether she is a journalist reporting on the issue for the Fairfax Times.

Ethically, she can't be both and yet she is. That's some first-rate bull---- right there.

Democrats are interested in ensuring that ALL children are receiving a fair and supportive education in the PUBLIC school system which by its very definition is to support the needs of all children, not just the well-behaved ones or the ones who speak fluent English, or the ones who do not have special needs or the CIS-gendered kids. This includes putting into place some supports that are not utilized by every student, but are necessary for others to ensure that they too have a chance to succeed.

The Republicans are the ones who are choosing to go to war over providing these accommodations and support and respect to children that they deem unworthy in order to ensure that students who are already receiving every systemic advantage continue to do so.

How does this impact next year's admissions process? Should students prepare for just the essay or will they be tested in middle school math, science and English?

Maybe they could get rid of experience factors and go back to an objective test. Keeping the 1.5% seat allocation will ensure that every middle school has representation at the school every jurisdiction funds with taxes.

But bottom half of fcps schools dont have enough applicants to fill even the 1.5% seat allocation, making it difficult to get to the desired diversity chart. Experience factors and non-academic criteria like essays help get to the predetermined ethnicity mix, whether it is stem qualified or not.

True.

Experience factors =

1) Economic Disadvantage: free or reduced-price lunch (FARMs)

2) English as a Second Language (ESL): enrolled in school programs designed for non-native English speakers, and

3) Special Education Needs: Students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) or Section 504 plans.

Experience factors account for 40% of the TJ admission standard total.

But they are all struggling at TJ with Cs & Ds, when they could thrive at their base school with As and Bs. Why are they being used as political props to satisfy a mere diversity chart?

Ugh, none of those factors, 1,2, or 3 qualifies a student for TJ, but what proof is there that they are struggling with C's & D's? And can NAACP really get traction if kids who aren't admitted have lesser scores on objective testing, even if it appears to be disparate impact if you only take race into account?

We don't know their grades other than anecdotally. But anecdotally, kids from some schools struggle more than others, especially in math.
We also know that the kids going back to their base school tend to be more prevalent at less academically rigorous schools

FCPS has basically given up on actually helping these kids teach their potential but also don't want to feel bad about having given up on these kids. So they try to get them into TJ where they will frequently fail and call it a day.

NAACP can't actually win a lawsuit but they can make woke white people feel bad.

I see that back in the 2016-17 school year, well before the admissions changes, 25 TJ kids had left over the course of the school year through April. This year the number is 13.

It doesn't seem kids are bailing on TJ more than in the past. Maybe the curriculum has adjusted to accommodate less advanced students, but that's a different question.

Wasn’t last year 50 kids left from freshman class?

significantly higher than that. In a scramble to backfill those vacancies, there’s aggressive outreach to top feeder base schools, urging students to apply as froshmores in 10th grade. Leaving those seats unfilled would draw criticism of the non-merit essay admission process. But entering TJ in 10th is a nightmare, without having the advantage of getting acclimated as freshman.

Proof?

Aren't you the one flooding this forum pleading top feeders to apply as froshmores?

DP. I am one of the posters encouraging people to apply as froshmores. I don't care if it's they're coming from Carson or Twain, just need to backfill the classes. Funding is based on headcount and they are going to fill those spots, it would be nice if the froshmores were smart

Unless their goal is to shutter TJ.

The only people eager to shutter TJ are the woke democrats running FCPS.

They also want to abolish the AAP program, just like their progressive counterparts in NYC and Seattle.

Whoever they are, I am thankful to them that TJ is now more accessible.

Yeah accessible to less qualified kids.

Proof?

120 point drop in PSAT scores.

So your question is, why are we so bothered by racism?

My question is why are you not more bothered by racism?

They should just close TJ down.

The dems need to stop giving them ammunition.

It was never proven that the admissions were discriminating against qualifying children who weren't Asian simply because they weren't Asian, only that the school's Asian population was a much higher percentage than the overall system population of Asians.

Adjusting the process specifically to change the racial/ethnic demographics is discrimination, and in this country it is illegal.

If you don't want your opponent to take advantage of your obvious screw ups, stop screwing up.

It doesn't matter what the dems do since they'll just make stuff up. These guys are crazy and see conspiracies everywhere.

So Dems should continue to be racist because it doesn't matter what they do?

Bigger question is why are unqualified being made freshman offers knowing well many of them quit in freshmen, and then backfill the vacancies later by soliciting qualified students to apply as froshmores in 10th while depriving them of freshman experience? Why these manipulative race based admissions games with students academics?

+1 It's okay for a competitive admissions based school to choose the best and the brightest. Of course, this presumes no "cheating" by which I define seeing the test/answers in advance or getting someone else to take the test (or write the essay) for you (a la the college admissions scandal). Studying/prepping is okay. But admission should not be based on quotas (whether geographic, racial, religious, etc) nor experience factors. It's not just about being fair to the kids who lose out to poorer students; it's also about the best use of taxpayer resources and the common good. We need to produce the best mathematicians, engineers, and scientists possible and that means vetting all the kids the same way. Otherwise, given the demographics, the US will not have the human capital it needs to compete with other countries. Then we all lose.

Admissions is race blind.

Increasing economic diversity was the biggest effect of the change.

TJ only accepted <1% of kids of kids from low-income families before the change.

The biggest beneficiaries were Asian kids from low-income families.
