[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The FCPS School Board is just providing middle school students with a new and different pathway to TJ admissions that will be studied carefully and reverse engineered.

If PP - perhaps a TJ teacher - really has such critical observations to share about the school, she or he should have been testifying in favor of the School Board for the magnet's dissolution.

All these people ever want to do is refashion a TJ that is more to their liking, and makes them feel better about having TJ on their own resumes, while still very much centering a school that fewer than 4% of FCPS high school students will ever attend as if it is the only school in FCPS that remotely matters.  And they are more than prepared to engage in overt anti-Asian racism to advance their goal.

increasing black and hispanic enrollment is overt racism? Too bad Kansas didn't think to use that argument to argue Brown [/quote]

Your logic is shallow, as overt racism has been directed at the Asian students currently at TJ, and there are no restrictions on the ability of any Black or Hispanic student who lives in a participating jurisdiction to apply to TJ.

But please carry on with your strained analogies.

Talking about issues with TJ students and the culture there =/= making blanket assertions about Asian Americans

There are a lot of TJ students who are not Asian and they contribute to the brutal culture there as well

There are also a HUGE number of Asian Americans who do not attend TJ and those statements don't apply to them at all

Equating criticism of TJ with overt racism against Asian Americans is extremely shallow logic

QED[/quote]

LOL.  That must be why Brabrand et al made a point of displaying charts that illustrated the anticipated reduction in the percentage of Asian kids under a revised admissions approach.

There is nothing more shallow than indulging in the fiction that the revised process will somehow find the kids who "truly" love STEM. [/quote]

Both things can be and are true:

1) The Asian population percentage will be reduced under this new model (because of the increase in class size, the raw number could actually go up)

2) That's not the point, the point is to increase representation of other voices and bring them into the room

Stop making everything about you - it's not about you[/quote]
