[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God forbid a parent want to provide religious education for their child. A person that can afford private school probably pays 1K a month in rent to the government for the home they own, as a Citizen and Tax Payer, they have access to what they are paying for when it comes time for TJ. The school is meritocracy if your child wasn’t admitted that means they are not at that level, but excluding a child because the parent wants to ground them in their faith is disgusting, and maybe take a cue that grounding your child in faith and traditional education has benefits versus educating children on whatever leftist cause de jour is in FCPS at the moment.[/quote]

There are plenty of people who provide religious education at home and don't attend religious schools. You made a choice that fits your families needs and values, one of the possible outcomes is that your child is less likely to gain admittance at schools like TJ. The impression I get from the private school forum is that most of the private schools do not provide the same depth of education in math and science. The kids who end up at TJ from privates tend to be kids out of schools like Basis and Nysmith that are more focused on math and science. The religious schools are very much seen as not doing a good job with math and science.

Plenty of kids are not selected who are a good fit at TJ because there are not enough seats for all the kids who are interested. There are 4.0 GPA students who are in Algebra 2 who were not accepted at TJ. No one would say that htose kids were not at "that level." FCPS knows what math is being taught in intensive math in APS and in Loudon County and in FCPS. They know what the kids had to do to get an A in Algebra 1, the minimum requirement, and what it means to get an A in Geometry or Algebra 2. They have far less of an idea about what math looks like at your kids religious school. [/quote]

Do they even have math in religious school.  I mean 3=1 and the use of the transitive property is insane.[/quote]
