[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So regarding the selection procedure of TJ students - What is it they are looking for after the top 1.5% of students are sorted?

If the Student portrait sheet and problem-solving essay are good, is the next step is they look if the student's math grades are good? Again in Math grades, will they prefer Algebra 1 or Geometry students if both students have Grade A?

It's a point system that has been posted somewhere else on DCUM. [/quote]

A friend of mine who is connected claims it's going to be a lottery next year to put an end to all this nonsense once and for all.[/quote]

The lottery was thrown out.  There is no way a lotter would pass with Youngkin as governor.[/quote]

He is a Governor, not a King. I have not memorized the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia but I doubt that the Governor is granted the power to determine how a specific school in the Commonwealth chooses its students. His Cabinet selections and other appointments can effect the Department of Education, and TJ through that, but they are not going to be able to say yes or no to a lottery at TJ. And TJ is a niche issue with a niche section of voters, outside of ads targeting the small group of parents obsessed with TJ, he is not running on reforming TJ admissions as a part of his platform.

But the Publicans think they can ignore the rule of law and feel they can act unilaterally in all matters. Look at Trump making off with classified documents. Anyone else would be in jail for treason for this nonsense.[/quote]
