[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the end of the day only 3% of FCPS high school students will attend TJ.  FCPS is committing to an awful lot of additional process to make sure the “right” (qualified yet diverse) kids end up there - they will have need an expanded admissions office with legal counsel watching their every move - while other high and secondary schools are largely ignored or left to function on auto-pilot.

It is a very large investment in “redefining merit.”  They run a significant risk that, as more UMC families grow dissatisfied with FCPS’s priorities, they’ll just leave for less stressful - and stressed - systems such as APS and LCPS. [/quote]

This is why TJ should just be closed and changed to an academy.  There are almost NO CLASSES taken during freshman or sophomore year that aren’t offered at the base high schools.  [/quote]

Yes, but I'm pretty sure they are more challenging and deeper than their base school counterpart. Otherwise almost all the TJ kids would be bored and yawning in them. And if there was no TJ, these same kids would be bored and yawning at their local high schools.

Oh, please.  You just tell yourself this to defend a status quo that has now been squarely rejected. [/quote]
