Then it's crazy to think there's discrimination when TJ is like 70% Asian.

Especially since selection is a race-blind process.

Many would prefer to believe in wacky conspiracies even if there's no evidence to support this

My favorite conspiracy theory - Asian kids bought the answers from Curie.

They didn’t buy the answers. They bought access to materials from a secured exam.

That’s not up for debate among serious people who know what is going on in Northern Virginia.

It was clear to everyone that this was going on. Not sure why some are trying to sweep it under the rug. Things had gotten so bad that the school board had to change the admission process since only wealthy applicants could afford to buy their way in.

Yes, it does seem odd they're trying to rewrite history to support this false narrative of a past that never was. Everyone who knows anything also was aware there was widespread cheating.

If you really feel TJ was that corrupt, just imagine what’s happening and will continue to happen now that TJ is letting in lots of poorly prepared kids from bottom-feeder middle schools like Key, Poe and Whitman who won’t be able to hold their own with kids from stronger schools.

You might as well cut to the chase and ask the School Board to dismantle TJ in the name of equity. Your baby steps so far are just a waste of everyone’s time.

Agree under the new system the top kids are getting in not just those who require prep to give the appearance of gifted.

Many of the kids who got in on the old system only were able to do so because they had access to the test questions. It's not like they were all that great.

Test scores and the remedial math classes don't support your conclusion that "the top kids are getting in." I know the truth hurts, but just own it. Come out and say I don't care if the best and brightest are getting in, it's a county-wide school that needs to serve all of the taxpayers in the county so each middle school gets some seats and we aren't going to require a competitive math test to get in as we think a student body with ESL, URM, and low income students that may not fare as well on such a test is more important. Why is that so hard to come out and say that? FCPS pretty much said exactly this. Why can't the rest of us?

They actually do but some parents insist on spreading this false narrative. TJ is stronger than ever now that the playing field is level and they've put an end to cheaeting.

Imagine thinking that an assessment of the "best and brightest" (if that classification were even a thing) could be reduced to a competitive math test.

My neighbor often gloats about how he was able to buy his kids way into TJ.

I'd also heard many had the answers ahead of time. I think that's why they had to change admissions.

What? We test and compare. That's how we determine everything. Sorry you don't like it because the wrong kids keep prevailing in the comparison.
