10/1 TJ Admissions School Board Meeting Cancelled

[Anonymous]

Can anyone name one think Brabrand has done this year that hasn’t been a complete and total clusterf*ck because he insists on developing a half a**ed plan by himself instead of getting input and using an actual process?

Please pressure your SB member to dump this clown. His contact is up this year. I disagreed with a lot of what Agartala did. But, at least she could get things done.

Interesting - Agartala is a city in India.

That is interesting. My typo, which was actually an autocorrect. And I’m not Indian, did not know that and am pretty confident I have never typed that word. Google Chrome must think I spend too much time in the AAP Board.

Still interested in one thing Brabrand has done right or well this year.

He has done an excellent job of infuriating many Asians to the brink of violent protests. Very good job indeed.

That’s not actually a bad thing. We may need all the protestors we can get come 11/4.

They certainly didn’t think that when they spent time, money and effort applying over the period of months.

Answer the question, please.

They would have probably not made it with a lottery system anyway. What is your point? 17 Blacks are projected to be admitted in expectation with the lottery. If you know any statistics, it means there is a good chance less than 6 are admitted. Especially, if other people apply more. 17 is based on all qualified people applying. Are you implying they would be happier and more likely to accept with greater White proportion? Because that is more likely than not to happen. Law of large numbers and many many more Whites in the qualified pool.

Answer the question, please.

Zero. And who knows why? What is your point?

That's right. Zero Black students in the Class of 2024 at TJHSST.

You cannot be an anti-racist and think that discrimination against Asians is the problem here.

Lack of blacks is a problem. Perpetuating white dominance is more of a problem that negatively affects all minorities.

Think long term and big picture. In addition, even if the 17 blacks are admitted, they may make similar calculations and decide not to come to TJ.

Far less likely if TJ is composed of a broader cross section of kids.

Many Asians have darker skin than Blacks. Broader cross section? Asians is not just one ethnicity.

There will be more economic, academic, geographic (within FCPS) and racial diversity. So what if many Asians have darker skin than blacks? They are still Asian, not black. No one said Asians are just one ethnicity.

The lottery is a much better idea than you understand. It's not just about changing admissions but is about changing the school, the makeup of the school and the school culture. With a different school culture, six or seventeen students might choose to come instead of choose not to.

It may be hard to admit that there's room for improvement in the culture of TJ. But there is.

TJ is not perfect. But what is the cost to your said benefits? People accusing us of racial cleansing, substantially affecting local economies, pulling down the entire student body’s future achievements? It is a fact that people do not value what they get by chance. On top of that, 0 black students may be picked or decide not to come. Then these efforts will be all for naught with all these negative effects!

Pulling down the entire student body's future achievements? Really? How do the other 99.99% of students across the country manage without TJ. How about we try the lottery and see if any of your doomsday predictions actually happen.

hahaha! sure, try it. I don't care. You must look at every aspect of the policy, not only the ultimate outcome (which is dubious to begin with). But also, what happens during the transition. Already people are calling out racial cleansing and this has divided the community. You are so privileged to say, let's try it out! Whites have nothing to lose because the effects on the local economy happens where Asians are the most populated. Whites will have the most increased representation in the student body. Even if TJ becomes an ordinary high school, you are okay with it. They will be so rounded. You have a leg up on society any way.

This will drive Asians to work only harder.

Racial cleansing? None of these people care that TJ is 70% Asian now, but are now concerned about "racial cleansing." The hypocrisy is astounding.

I know. Talk about racists implementing a racial cleansing policy in this day and age. These idiots at fcps haven’t learned a thing from the civil rights struggles.

What is really being asked is whether parents should continue paying for test prep, you know, just in case their wildest dreams come true and they can return t the status quo.

FCPSis administering the PSAT to all juniors end of Oct. (10/29?) in person in the HSs. The smartest and easiest thing would be to open some MS sites and administer it to 7th graders for TJ. Since they are dealing with the logistics for juniors anyway and the Quant-Q is apparently corrupt.

The can’t say they can’t administer a test. All seniors went back for the SAT. All juniors are going in for the PSAT. Clearly they can administer a standardized test. And the PSAT is there and easy and kids won’t have prepped for it and it won’t have leaked.

They can’t just go test optional unilaterally, now that LCPS and PWCS have objected.

I have no special knowledge, but I’d bet a lot that’s what they do.

They already use the PSAT for frost more admissions. Plus, isn’t the PSAT already used for AOL?

Is the vote on TJ admissions canceled?
