1. is what FCPS/TJ want to do to increase diversity [meaning black and hispanic] .  I looked up IMSA admissions and it uses the SAT not a special test as does FCPS for TJ.  Why reinvent the wheel with a different test as is the case with FCPS?

Readers on DCUM might not be aware of the Young Scholars program in FCPS which uses the AAP [formerly known as GT] school based resource teachers for Young Scholars.  Whatever is going on there and in the base schools has not resulted in students getting into TJ --- parents who rely on the schools are not getting the results.

A former school board member said programs we [FCPS] implemented didn't work and I don't know what she was referring to but can write that you can have all the extra time and programs but if they are fuzzy/fluffy on content then there will not be results.    Many FCPS schools just don't present academics that without supplementing prepare a student for TJ admissions.

totally unfair to slam Epstein for the quality of instruction or what is done for underrepresented groups at TJ.
