[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ is long overdue for the use of creative mechanisms other than quotas for bringing in a more diverse population.  It has to happen.  No reasonable person could support the status quo. [/quote]

FCPS re-ups the designation of TJ as a Governor's School every year with the least amount of discussion possible.  The last thing they want to do is get into a big debate over TJ admissions like happened recently in NYC over admissions to Stuyvesant.

Adjusting boundaries in the name of "equity" is for the little people.  TJ is about excellence. [/quote]

Hopefully adjusting boundaries will ultimately, indirectly lead to a more diverse and excellent TJ. [/quote]

Really the only thing they need to do is stop sending such a high percentage of the AAP kids in western Fairfax to a single AAP center - Carson.  [b]Let the AAP kids stay at their base schools and over time you'd see some additional diversity at TJ. [/b] [/quote]

Why? Going to their base schools isn't going to stop them from passing the test.[/quote]

Then there’s no reason to bus them to Carson, is there? Let’s see if you’re right.[/quote]

That doesn't answer the question of how not sending them to Carson is going to increase diversity at TJ.[/quote]
