[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I am a realist.

The status quo is changing. You can either be a part of that change - help FCPS and TJ figure out how to implement - or you can keep complaining.

I wrote my SB member suggesting that each MS identify a handful of students -  no more than 10 per MS - of the truly gifted in STEM - as my experience with TJ has been that while there are a handful of kids in each class who are truly head and shoulders above the rest, the rest of the kids are generally interchangeable and could have been replaced by other kids who applied and were not accepted. She wrote back that this was the kind of concrete suggestion they needed - not just saying "no lottery."

Um, that's half the class right there.

I suspect McLaughlin, Pekarsky and Tholen will go through the motions of raising concerns given how many current TJ kids come from Dranesville and Sully, but the rest of the woke mob will approve Brabrand's proposal.

And this is just TJ.  They'll come after the good "regular" schools next.  Buckle up, Langley. [/quote]

I am curious why the "woke mob" picked on TJ first instead of Langley? Is that because politically Asians are the weak minority?[/quote]

"Picked Langley" for WHAT, exactly?

With TJ, you can buy the cheap house in the district where you are likely to get picked - THEN attend TJ for free!  Nice country, America.

Not anymore. [/quote]

There has been a long running problem of Langley being under capacity while the surrounding more diverse schools are crowded. The woke mob could have addressed the boundary issue of Langley first. But they singled out TJ first for the least political damage.[/quote]
