[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd agree if the vote happened right after the change, but the coalition for TJ people are so insufferable, that I doubt we ever go back to the old system. [/quote]

The TJAAG and the FCDC say “hold my beer.”[/quote]

Maybe the new board will just get fed up with everyone and close the school [/quote]

We must not allow any different programs for any students.  Public schools must generate the same outcome for everyone.  Society only survives when everyone is infused with the same educational mush.  Non-conformity with our demands if futile.  We are Borg.

Actually the solution for this is for FCPS to offer a wide range of programs meeting the needs of different students.  If STEM schools are oversubscribed, replicate them.  If accelerated programs are oversubscribed, replicate them.  You wouldn't see these problems, with all the associated racial animosity, if FCPS didn't limit TJ-type programs to one school and expect people to compete for admissions using subjective standards.

Of course none of these reforms will ever occur given the electorate in Fairfax.  This will just cause the rich to go to private schools leaving mediocre public schools in their wake with little electoral support. [/quote]
It’s idiotic to think other schools don’t have STEM courses.  TJ just has more because of the supply-induced demand.

Getting rid of TJ would be an excellent idea.  Then individual schools could adjust their offerings further as needed. [/quote]
