[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The MS allotments were not meant to evenly distribute who attends TJ but to make sure that all kids have a chance of attending TJ. We know that there are MSs that don’t use their full allotments, the point is that there is the opportunity for kids from schools that are under represented at TJ who meet the basic requirements.[/quote]

It would be more accurate to say that the allotments were intended to ensure all middle schools had some representation, even if very small.  It doesn't make sure that all kids, as a practical matter, have a chance of attending TJ, or would ever want to.

If you meet the minimum criteria for applying and you attend one of the Middle Schools that doesn't meet their allotment, then aren't you guaranteed a spot at TJ?  And aren't these exactly the kids that go to TJ and drown in the rigor?[/quote]

This must be true. There is one middle school, I can't remember which one, that has sent 4 or 5 students to TJ and every student was dismissed to their base school each of the past couple years.[/quote]

That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.[/quote]

The problem is that FCPS has all the evidence and they will not share it with anyone because of privacy issues (less than 10 students involved)[/quote]

They don’t want to share the evidence because it would show that letting students in based on bonus experience factor points isn’t finding the students who will thrive be at TJ.[/quote]
