[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS is spending tons of time on chronic absenteeism. Reid recently presented efforts to the school board.

I’m curious, OP, if you think the families and students bear any responsibility for taking the initiative to apply to TJ? The admissions process already favors schools like Poe. When is it up to the student to do something?[/quote]
How is it student's fault when they are not even being taught proper algebra1 but are being misled that they can do well at TJ? and once in TJ, told to accept a D as normal? [/quote]

Algebra 1 H is Algebra 1 H. A student who takes Algebra 1 H and does well enough to be considered for TJ has the math background needed for TJ. TJ math moves more quickly than regular math, not all the students can handle that. Kids dropped back to their base school from plenty of schools before the admission change.

Until someone actually shows that the kids from Poe and Holmes are all getting D’s in math at TJ I am going to assume that this is BS.

No one is telling kids at Poe or Holmes that they have to apply to attend TJ or even say yes. The kids have a chance to understand what is expected at TJ. They make choices that they think works best. Stop making them out to be innocent lambs lead to the slaughter at TJ.[/quote]
