[quote=Anonymous][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.

I love how the FCDC party loyalists keep using the somewhat salacious term “grooming” to describe parents who take an interest in their kids’ education.  I’m sure that will work out well for you come election time next year. [/quote]
