[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now watch them get rejected from TJ. [/quote]

Those kids will be fine anywhere while TJ would make a huge difference in an underprivileged child's life trajectory.[/quote]

Hypothetical Counterpoint: With TJ's advanced math classes, they continue on the path to finally solving Goldbach's conjecture. The underprivileged kid, on the other hand, goes from being top in his high school and getting accepted into Harvard (full ride due to low income) to being bottom of his class at TJ and attending a local college below his potential.[/quote]

Why should a kid whose school doesn't offer mathcounts be disadvantaged? If FCPS wants to use something as a data point for admission, they need to make sure it is available in all middle schools [/quote]
FCPS middle school principals have wholeheartedly facilitated mathcounts club gatherings at bottom schools but no one attends.  Whereas at at top school, when a similar FCPS middle school principal accommodates mathcounts club meetings afterschool, the entire cafeteria is full.

They don't tell us about this attendance gap in our equity meetings, do they, comrade? [/quote]

That isn't remotely true. [/quote]
