[quote=Anonymous][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]

There's no need to answer your question.  You've said it makes no difference if AAP kids attend Carson or another middle school.  In that case,  we can save money and send those kids to their base schools.  Game over. [/quote]
