[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is frustrating, isn’t it?  The coalition is holding a large number of kids hostage (including my kid) as they try to make their voice heard.  Why not ask to stop the process for the next class?  But allow this one to be seated using the criteria that we understood when our kid was applying?  You aren’t going to get a test this year.  All you are doing is throwing kids  into confusion.  My kid is an Asian male at a feeder school (so someone they claim they are advocating on behalf of) and I don’t get what the coalition is going for here.  [/quote]

I think there was even greater confusion when the School Board changed the process - most School Board members didn’t even know whether the 1.5% quotas were based on students’ base schools or their attending schools. “Clarifying” that it was based on attending schools underscored the anti-AAP, anti-Asian and anti-meritocratic nature of the changes.

So, sure, the continued uncertainty as to what the courts may do is unsettling, but let’s not forget who created this obscene mess. It wasn’t the C4TJ. [/quote]

Umm. My kid knew what he was getting into when he applied.  He wanted to put the best application he could forward and see what happened.  Now a bunch of people are stopping the process and he has no idea what’s going on. He wants to know what next year brings so he can focus on summer plans (marching band? PE over the summer?  Where will his friends be?).  This all matters at 14. I am not worried because all his options are good but let’s be crystal clear - there is only one group of people unsettling him right now and it’s not FCPS. [/quote]

I’m sure he’ll do fine but your blaming the people who are trying to protect our Constitutional rights isn’t a good look.  This School Board and the TJAAG care about politics and we are all paying the price for their pandering and their incompetence. [/quote]
