[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m beginning to think Branbrand develops his plants by scribbling them on a pickled juice splotched napkin over lunch.  How did he not consult with stakeholders, including the TJ community, FCPS community, participating jurisdictions, and legislature, then released a range of options for consideration.  Rather than blindsiding folks with a half assed plan. This was worth following a process and doing correctly.

For example, why aren’t we talking about finalists interviewing  with a TJ faculty in the area that aligns with their stated interest for an interview?  What about not announcing the test in advance?  And some years giving the PSAT, the ACT Aspire, the SSAT or a test written by TJ facility.  The test changed each year.  Sometimes multiple choice, sometimes essay, sometime a combo.   No kid knows in advance, so now kid could prep and no test center could get hold of the test. Get a counselors red, like for college, with every core teacher contributing a blurb.  Lottery from the whole county, not by regions. Or give each regions seats in apportion to applicants.  I think keeping proctored short essays is important. But throw in real ethical deli as and pale s that can be solved a number of ways, and give weight o outside then bod.

There are ways to make the test less prep panel.

This lottery is designed to decrease the number of Asians. Which means Brabrand also needed an opinion from,egal counsel.

Reform TJ. But be thoughtful. It really is okay if it doesn’t go into effect until next year.  Schools gave the SAT and are giving the PSAT. They can give the test.

This is like lady summer, when he tried to ram through something complex (hybrid learning) got pushback and realized he hadn’t thought through logistics and had to backtrack.

His contact had better not be reviewed. [/quote]

These are excellent suggestions. [/quote]
