[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Washington Post should profile some of the amazing kids who were rejected. [/quote] They should, but of course they won't. It would undercut the inspiring, pre-ordained narrative of how FCPS found a way for more URMs and FARMS kids to have a life-changing experience at TJ if it turns out the increasing number of extremely well qualified, but turned away, kids who ended up at their base schools are doing great (or even outperforming TJ kids). We can already see some cracks in the facade. The Post won't want to add more. Eventually it will be clear that the main purpose of TJ has become to provide an alternative for some bright, if not necessarily exceptional, kids to escape the county's lowest-performing high schools. That won't necessarily do much for TJ's reputation, but it will underscore just how bad some other FCPS schools have become. [/quote]
