I am sad today. The era of the Eastern Seaboard public magnets is coming to the end. |

| Yep you can no longer over prep your kid for the TJ test. Good move FCPS |

+1 Yup. Big changes coming. No prepping allowed. Wonder what is next? |

I know, those white kids should really go easy with prepping. |

Glad to see FCPS is diligent about attacking its windmills. |

Mediocrity and becoming China's whipping boy. Racism can make people so short-sighted. |

I’m glad the lottery didn’t pass. That was by far the worst part of the proposal.
Whether there’s a test or not, students should be picked on merit, not chance. |

Yeah, there will at least be a problem solving essay and other methods to weed out the idiot PP's idiot kids. |

And yet somehow other magnets are able to successfully choose their classes. The lottery was the right idea. Too bad you couldn't figure that out. |

We have friends who have had their child prepping for the exam for about 4 years. I thought it was insane. |
