[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why has there never been a serious discussion about changing TJ to an Academy where any student can take classes?

Or even follow the LCPS model of 1/2 base school and 1/2 magnet program?  It makes so much more sense to spread out a limited resource.  [/quote]

The class size has been expanded.  But TJ is a magnet high school, not an academy.  [/quote]

This is a very weak argument.  It is a magnet high school because it is a magnet high school.

Okay.  [/quote]

The other governor's school that I know of is Maggie Walker.  Do you want to turn it into an Academy?  No, that wouldn't work.  Nor would it work for TJ.[/quote]

Okay, now I understand why your reasoning was so poor.

Google and critical thinking are your friends.  There are 19 Governor Schools in Virginia.  Most of them operate as Academies or similar to how LCPS runs their magnet programs.

There’s nothing magical about how TJ is currently set up.  Just change it and allow more students access to the classes that are only available at TJ.  [/quote]

And some of the other Govenors Schools are only for students in grades 10-12 or 11-12.  [/quote]
