[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe that TJ should either have continued with the old system, which was in place for years and emphasized objective assessments, or gone to a pure lottery among students meeting threshold requirements. The new system is highly offensive - it commits ever more FCPS resources to ever more subjective assessments of applicants to a single school and requires heavy vetting by lawyers and FCPS officials. As a result, it diverts more Gatehouse resources and School Board attention away from other schools and towards TJ. It is past time for TJHSST to be shut down and for TJ to return to use as a community school. [/quote] The old system was not objective. Most of the scoring was based on the interpretation of the SIS and recommendations once passed the first round (not a very high bar).[/quote] What? Not a high bar? It knocked out two thirds of applicants and was cited as the reason URM do not get into TJ.[/quote]
