[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basically the rich parents who can afford to test prep their kids from 1st grade NNAT up until the TJ test are all pissed that they no longer can reliably get their kids a quality private high school education with public dollars.  Why we are spending public money on a school like TJ and at the same time all the other schools are overcrowded and can't afford to pay enough to keep teachers and subs will never make sense to me.
My son's 2nd grade teacher told us that over half the kids were in Kumon, Sunshine Academy, and other math prep (and CogAT prep) courses when she asked if kids had seen questions like these during the CogAT pre-test examples a couple years ago.[/quote]

I’m a parent that is appalled at the level of prep for the TJ test.

That being said, FCPS has clearly watered down their math curriculum at least since the pandemic.  If you want your child to be prepared for future math classes, you almost HAVE to do a lot outside of school. Whether it is AoPS, Kumon, Fairfax Collegiate, buying textbooks and teaching them yourself, parents really need to be doing something to fill in the gaps.  Your child can get an A in a class and not have learned the material properly.  [/quote]
