Another 2021 parent here.  While I understand how some in the Asian community feel, I don't think there's anything wrong with trying out alternative methods of selection as long as the TJ rigor continues.  I really hope the new class does well.

However, I DO NOT support the anti-democratic methods being employed by Bonnie and the VA PTA (who have no business touching my contributions) in trying to get rid of a duly elected TJ PTA.  Who's their coach?  Trump?[/quote]

With all due respect, many of the 2021 parents are done, unless they have younger kids.

I don't understand the numbers of alumni and parents who are over-invested in the process. It's easy to talk a grand game when you have nothing hanging in balance.

On the other hand, I have empathy for those that have children in the pipeline. I remember the exact date, day and time when my kids were accepted. We thought our kids were deserving but even then, with a more structured and telegraphed process, nobody knew for certain. We repeated this nervous anticipation with much more uncertainty for the opaque college app process. It's not a pleasant experience.

So I certainly understand why the Asian community feels troubled when a process rife with opacity was introduced. Nobody disputes that this has led to dramatic negative percentage change no other racial group has undergone. 
In other words, it's not hard to see this was targeted.
