[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] "Get rid of TJ and replace it with quality schools for all." <<This quote suggests that you don't have a concept of what TJ is really about. Northern Virginia schools ARE excellent for the diverse group of students it serves. Every student in NOVA who wants to learn will get a great education, whether they are in City of Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax County, or Prince William County. TJ was established for the exceptionally gifted students who would benefit from the advanced level courses. It's not designed to bring any admitted students up to that level. The intention is to be the atmosphere for the students who are at the very top to go even farther. It's possible for an extremely poor person to have a very bright student, and that student would be welcomed at TJ. But usually the brightest people end up getting some kind of decent employment, thereby making them NOT poor. Any children they may have won't qualify as "poor" to meet the quotas that so many liberals seem bent on enforcing. It comes down to the family. Poor people usually don't make education a priority. That's not TJ's fault. [/quote] Taxes used to be higher. NoVa schools were good without TJ. Now rich people get richer, while everyone else struggles. Students who live almost next door to TJ cannot go there, so that the children of the wealthy and the Asian bourgeois can solidify the advantages they were born with. Raise taxes, return community schools to their communities, and stop declaring war on poor people. We are the 99%. [/quote]
