[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My issue is TJ already delayed the final decision till late May and they didn’t bother to verify the free meal status all this time.  [/quote]

All those embarrassed cheaters who tried to lie their way into TJ and then bragged about admission? Are we supposed to feel bad for them? [/quote]

Not really, but neither should one necessarily feel special respect for kids whose families rely on state or federal assistance for food and shelter.  [/quote]

I have a lot more respect for kids who manage to do well in school despite poverty than strivers who try to cheat[/quote]

+100 A child who manages to qualify for TJ despite experiencing poverty and/or food insecurity, and certainly without discretionary income for enrichment/tutoring, is by definition going to have the grit to do more with the opportunity than a child who has been groomed for this application since 3rd grade.
