[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My goodness, a lot of posts praising TJ all of a sudden. Same poster with nothing better to do?![/quote]

Or several posters agreeing that “when TJ is turned into a neighborhood school” guy is off his rocker.

You don’t mess with success. TJ delivers objective success, like the highest SATs and most NMSFs and most MIT admissions and most NMSFs and most perfect AP scores of any HS in the country. And subjective feel goods, like being the first high school in the country to build a CubeSat that was launched into obit by NASA.  Cube Sat II to be launched this year.  And hosting Obama’s education bill signing.  And having Regeneron winners, because their kids are curing cancer. And working with the State Department to set up an international conference on STEM education. Etc.

If you get to far into your little bubble, you lose sight of the big picture. TJ is a huge success story that makes FCPS and Fairfax county look very, very good. You may think it’s method for choosing kids is wrong. You might be right. But nobody wants to mess with the system that produces an average of 1500 plus on the SATs and 140 NMSFs and a Regeneron winner and 2 Presidential scholars and a satellite being launched into space, etc., etc., — and that’s just this years class.
