[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curie results for 2026? They got 133 in 2024 and 93 in 2025. [/quote] Curie's having 93 out of 550 seats, suggests either Fairfax didn't eliminate the preppability of admissions, or that Curie was getting a lot of students who were going to get in anyways.[/quote] What it actually means is that Curie is relatively ubiquitous among the South Asian community in Western Fairfax and Loudoun counties. If a South Asian student gets into TJ from that part of the county, there's a pretty strong chance (although it isn't 100%) that that student is a Curie product. In each case, either the student would have gotten in anyway (which means the parents wasted their money) or the student nudged out someone else (which is why people use the "pay-to-play" term that everyone seems to hate so much).[/quote] Real pay to play is the "Varsity Blues" cases not prepping.[/quote] Remember that Varsity Blues wasn't just fake sports. It was also kids being provided with test answers, in the case of the fraudulent SAT testing protocols. That's actually a one-to-one comparison with the recent TJ scandal of kids at prep centers getting the answers ahead of time. [/quote] Such absolute lies, It is very much people like you who also attacked the capitol and killed people saying the elections were fake. [/quote] Nope. The MAGAs are behind the C4TJ lies. [/quote] No doubt many of them are in the MAGA crowd, but C4TJ is just a front for the prep centers who stand to loose 8-9 figures of income because of these changes.[/quote] In this world people have to choose between only two options, believe in fake election or allow unmonitored essay writing competition for artificial social engineering (which is no different than using bleach to cure covid)[/quote] Even though your statement is a gross oversimplification, it does highlight one piece of political wisdom. The current Republican/MAGA party is a coalition of single-issue groups who can be swindled into thinking that their single issue is more important than the rest of society as a whole. It is a poverty that they're having success convincing Asians that protecting a small sliver of admissions spaces at a small sliver of schools (which they have no intention of doing anyway) is more important than their relentless efforts to drive wealth upwards and destroy the middle class. For a group that proclaims themselves more intelligent and educated than the rest of America, you sure are a useful group of fools.[/quote] The Democrats on the current FCPS School Board could not be much worse. You have Karl Frisch, who wasted county money on an unnecessary renovation at Dunn Loring ES in order to save a dog park his friends wanted to preserve. You have Karen Corbett Sanders, who championed spending $40 million to expand West Potomac HS so kids in her district wouldn't have to attend Mount Vernon HS. You have Abrar Omeish, who got into a confrontation with a police officer over a routine traffic stop, and then wasted even more county resources by forcing the county to defend a frivolous lawsuit. You have Elaine Tholen, who threw McLean HS under the bus and refused to add any diversity to her 2% FARMS Langley HS. You have Karen Keys Gamarra, who as an at-large member ignores almost every school in FCPS but acts like a "social justice" Academy at Lewis HS will be the cure for all evils. You have Stella Pekarsky, who does nothing for overcrowded Chantilly HS even as it approaches 2900 kids in a building designed for far fewer students. You have Melanie Meren, who once asserted that she had a special affinity for Asian culture because she went to a Benihana restaurant as a child. And you have Laura Jane Cohen and the others who went along with making radical admissions changes at TJ a top priority at FCPS in the middle of a pandemic. You can keep whining about MAGA as if repeating the magic syllables will protect them, but it's not going to stop people from doing their best to unseat these incompetent, preening, hypocritical clowns next year.
