[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a profoundly gifted child who wasn’t at FCPS due to military assignment of his father for grades 6 and 7. He has autism which FCPS doesn’t recognize as they call it “medical autism” not “educational autism” so he has a 504 not IEP which according to the new metric won’t get him an extra look. He tested well but cannot write. I think he would have tested into TJ but am not sure he will be picked under the new system. If he is, I am honestly not sure I want him there as it seems very discriminatory against minorities and those with disabilities which go against every way I have raised him. He loves life sciences but also history and English and doesn’t want to work hard. As a parent I want to keep his love of learning. Before we know the outcome, if you had a kid like mine what would you choose? [/quote]

I would not send a non-Asian or non-white kid to TJ. I also would not send a kid with special needs to TJ. I would 1,000 % not send a non-white or non-Asian child with special needs to TJ. No! No! No! [/quote]

Don't fall for this narrative.  A group of people are trying to push a divisive, racist agenda by calling TJ racist and that messaging seems to permeate these message boards.

While TJ is hard, there is no reason why a smart kid won't thrive there.  You can always move back to base HS if it doesn't work out.[/quote]
