[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Virtual school is only going to last for a year, hopefully. I doubt that parents are transferring their kids this year to game the systems.

Kids will have to attend the school for at least a year in a regular year. So parents will have to be willing to rent a place and then transport their kid to a different school for a year. And the areas with fewer kids attending TJ, and hence with a likely greater chance to be selected in the lottery, are likely to be at schools with fewer after school options. So parents will have to decide that it is worth it to rent an apartment that they might not use, drive their kid a larger distance to a school that they probably don't think is as strong and with fewer after school STEM options.

I don't see that happening.[/quote]

Then you aren’t a member of the TJ community.  And you don’t get the sacrifices families make to attend and help their kid succeed.  We are and were talking about this at dinner the other night.  We know people who are doing it now for younger siblings.   And all of us absolutely believe it will continue as long as TJ is advanced enough to be worth attending. [/quote]
