[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the reason that there aren't more TJ kids going to the top schools is because those schools don't want kids that just consume information and spit it out on tests.  They want leaders and people with an original thought once in a while.[/quote].

Like the current TJ student, and all the TJ alums, who made Forbes 30 under 30 list?

Wow.  Can we just say that there are immensely talented kids everywhere with an impressive number at TJ?[/quote]

That's a very fair statement. There are very talented kids throughout FCPS. TJ has a high concentration of them. Succeeding in the research and project heavy curriculum at TJ requires a lot more than rote memorization. That's the easy part that gets you a C. It's how they apply the knowledge that makes TJ students (and strong Langley, Oakton, Woodson, etc) tandouts. [/quote]

Attack the author, ignore the facts.
Hopefully the new admissions policy for next year will be a step in the right direction.[/quote]
