Virginia voted in Youngkin.
He was pushed out of his job because he's a criminal liar. He ran on a campaign of lies He is still a lying sob racist anit semite He still sends his crap kids to MD vaxed and masked for school. He still has to contend with L Louise Lucas he is out of his league. Virginia showed just how stupid it's population actually is for beleiving his utter crap. Good luck with that your taxes will shoot through the roof this year. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA idots |
Equity is not socialism. Socialism is when government controls the means of production. You really shouldn't use terms you don't understand. You appear to neither understand "equity" nor "socialism." |

*PSAT scores were NOT withheld
*The cutoff score for Commended National Merit students is easy to find because it's the same for everyone in the country. https://www.google.com/search?q=commended+national+merit+scholar+cutoff&oq=commended+nat&aqs=chrome.3.0i512j69i57j0i512l5j69i60.8896j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 *Students also receive direct communication at their home address from the National Merit Corporation *I guarantee you that no student was not admitted to a college because they didn't put that they were a National Merit Commended Scholar on their common app. As other PPs have noted, there's only room for 5 awards on the Common App and most kids use those spaces for other, more prestigious awards. I know some of these parents quoted in the news articles, and as a fellow TJ parent, I am so embarrassed for them. These people claim to care so much about their kids, when all they're doing is harming them. |
Commended is not much of an honor. Semi finalists are the ones who get to compete for scholarships. You seem ill informed. |
I agree. I am disgusted to hear “equal outcome for every student without exception.” It’s not only ridiculous it’s evil. When the former superintendent proposed a “merit lottery” for TJ’s admission process, I thought the stupidity would never be surpassed, I was wrong. Now we’ll have “equal outcome” for our kids. Does anyone here expect “equal outcome” for your own kids? |
The kids who got the real awards were notified. This is a bunch of whining over a participation trophy. A TJ student who only gets commended should be embarrassed |
It's not "evil." It's a goal. It's rhetorical. It's aspirational. Anyone who thinks in terms of that somehow costing their own child something is just a despicable piece of human garbage. Imagine being told this and your first concern is "WHAT ABOUT *MY* CHILD? *MY* CHILD IS SPECIAL." I mean, that's such a twisted and diseased way of thinking. |

Equality & equity are two different things.
Equally means that we all play by the same rules, equity means that we all get the same score. Some of this communist thought was brought about by “ everyone gets a trophy” . |

You cannot have equal outcomes for every student in any society capitalist or communist.
This is simply a fiction. Can anyone play in the NBA? Should we lower the baskets so that more Filipinos can play the game? |

Good for him.
Something needs to be done. We've 'equitied' down to number 17 in the world. Something ain't working. |
I don't think the mid-term elections for the House and the Senate mean any more than the Republican sweep in 2021 at the state level (Youngkin/Sears/Miyares) when it comes to local elections this fall. Feel free to cherry pick whatever makes you feel less insecure. |

Great job to Gov. Youngkin for stepping up for the students.
Heads are going to roll when the investigation is complete, and the school administrators involved in this scheme will be out of jobs for what they did. |
DP, but we'd be better off if more people took care of their own kids first and stopped expecting government to engineer "equal outcomes" for all. And lofty aspirations and slogans are no substitute for competent leadership, as illustrated by the ongoing decline of FCPS. |
keep dreaming |

WHY did TJ withhold that information from the students? |
