[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Siphoning off the best students from schools and aggregating them in a "selective public school" is just another form of segregation and damages the students "left behind" both psychologically and academically. Let's commit to raising the quality of all our public schools and students not just the privileged at TJ.[/quote]

The secretary of education, Ms. DeVoss, would certainly not agree. [b]Segregation is the purpose of school choice[/b]! Go TJ!![/quote]

? You can't get into TJ by "choice."  Many are called but few are chosen.  Refreshing how one place in academia can still select solely on merit.[/quote]

Some people join a country clubs. The fact that not everyone gets admitted doesn't imply that [b]a club isn't segregated[/b].[/quote]

segregated - based on merit.  Perfectly lawful.[/quote]

So how does TJ's Hispanic and black student populations compare to that of Fairfax county? [/quote]

What difference does that make?  To get in you have to apply. [/quote]

One could argue that the test has a racial bias and the effect is the exclusion of some groups.[/quote]
