What is the difference between FCPS and NYC schools in this regard.
In NYC schools the majority of kids getting in to the magnets are economically disadvantaged. So if you follow your logic you would say that they have achieved what we want to to achieve in terms of socieoeconomic equity right. But wait- most of those poor kids are Asian so now we have to think of another reason why this is not equitable.
How does this work? Can someone give me a coherent argument as to how you can argue what they are arguing in NY and what they are arguing here at the same time?[/quote]

I'm not super concerned about what is going on in NYC. They don't send any kids to TJ and the environment at TJ is what I care about. [/quote]

You are not concerned as truth is hard to digest. NYC should be an example for FCPS. Child needs to focus on academics, not keep on playing outside with neighborhood kids, riding bikes, watching tv and playing various sports all the time. Lot of Sacrifice goes into good education. Why are poor disadvantaged kids of NYC able to take advantage and get in magnets but not the Blacks and Hispanics? [/quote]

DP. Was this response a troll who is trying to make Asians look bad? Because that's what you did.

If TJ's admissions process was one that was favoring the types of "sacrifices" that you are touting here, that's a HUGE problem and would do a tremendous job of explaining the serious mental health issues at the school. [/quote]
