[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It does support the goal of quality education for all. I wish there was a comparable program for students who want to emphasize the arts and have been cultivating talents in those areas and want that additional level of support that only a program with a focus on those areas can support.

There's nothing wrong with TJ, and there's nothing wasteful about... the only thing wrong and wasteful is some of the parents attitudes and incessant complaining about it, in an effort either to get their particular kid into the program and/or shape things in such a way that elevates their POV of how things "should" be over that of professional educators or the community at large.[/quote]

Disagree.  It continues to take up a disproportionate amount of FCPS’s time, attention, and resources. In a struggling school system that often fails to address the basic needs of students, it’s become an unnecessary luxury item. [/quote]

Well, it's not going anywhere, so I would argue that the greater waste of time - unless you have a real plan - is to continue to suggest that it should go away.

But no, you continue to insist on clicking on and replying to threads that you could very easily just ignore and waste your time in doing so.[/quote]

There is nothing that says we have to have a magnet school in perpetuity that chews up an excessive amount of FCPS bandwidth and seats students from other jurisdictions when FCPS is turning other high schools into 3000-student factories.  It’s a testimony to your arrogance to suggest otherwise.  [/quote]

Dp.

You sound like a deranged jealous person who has no chance at TJ.

You’re too obtuse to realize that even if you make TJ disappear you will help no one. you're  only working to deprive some gifted kids of opportunities. [/quote]

There would be more opportunities for more students if the School Board and FCPS leadership worked to improve all high/secondary schools and didn’t fetishize a single school.  But, sure, let’s pretend the only gifted kids in NoVa are at TJ, regardless of whatever increasingly half-assed approach is employed to select them.  [/quote]
