[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We all know it wil happen!  I'll start!

We already know that TJ attracts families from all across the globe and that they move here to attend TJ.

Given that this year is virtual, how about a parent living in another country "rents" an apartment in one of the low-yield regions.  They then "enroll" their child virtually, have them attend classes and then put their child's name in the hat to see what happens? MANY children are logging into FCPS classes from outside of the area, so this is not a new thing.  If they are worried about getting caught, they can always just use a VPN.

Taking this to the CRAZY extreme:

A company could pop up to provide this "service".  The company could "enroll" a bunch of "children" (i.e. these are not actual children, just generic names) in the virtual environment.  The company could hire people to "attend" class and do the assignments - not a lot of work given that 3.5 is the GPA cut-off.   The company then enters all of the "children" into the lottery and sees who gets in.  The company can then sell the spot and the actual child assumes the name of the fake child.

No cameras are required in FCPS, so the school can't know who is really behind the computer.  There is readily available voice altering software, so you could easily make an adult sound like a child.   [/quote]
