Thank you for your honesty.  Can you see how doing this is messing with learning things traditionally in school.

Also, there is 0 reason to take geometry over the summer, that needs to stop as well.

Again when you are applying for a job none of this matters, APP doesn't matter, TJ doesn't matter, where you went to college doesn't matter.

The sooner folks on these boards learn how the world actually works the better it is for everyone and we can have an accurate picture of who should be actually going to TJ.[/quote]

Finally you provide an insight into your thinking through the word "traditionally". That's the way things have always been, so that's the way they should always be? No changes, no progress? And no differences between how you do things and how others do things?

By "how the world actually works" you mean how you think things should be. Sorry to tell you, but not everyone shares your worldview, and thank goodness for that.

Some people see value in AAP, TJ and/or their choice of college for reasons other than what matters when applying for a job. is that OK with you? Some people see reasons to take geometry over the summer and FCPS permits them to do so. Is that OK with you?

As for "an accurate picture of who should be actually going to TJ", you seem to mean those who can succeed based on natural talent with no effort. Of course, you don't really mean that; some effort is OK as long as it's the appropriate kind of effort. And you have named yourself the arbiter of how much effort and which types of effort are permissible (e.g. working hard in school? studying for certain exams?) and which kinds of effort are impermissible (e.g. supplementing what FCPS offers in any way? studying for certain other exams?). Completely arbitrary...[/quote]
