[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a troll here on DCUM who loves to perpetuate this lie.  She repeats it to support the false narrative that TJ only admitted students from exceptionally high SES families, who could afford to (as she put it) “buy the test answers.”

Her claim is not true.  It was never true.

When challenged on this falsehood, she often asserts test-preparation courses equal “buying test answers.”  But, by her twisted logic, anyone’s child who does an SAT prep session or even buys a test-prep book from Amazon, has somehow “purchased the answers to the upcoming SAT.”

Call this troll out when you encounter her lies here.  I’ve tried reporting her, but she’s apparently still around.  I’m uncertain why she harbors such hatred towards TJ or why she  insists on repeatedly lying about TJ admissions.[/quote]
troll has been flooding this forum for well over a decade with limited phrases:

test buying, wealthy feeders, test bank, and their favorite obsession..... Curie![/quote]

I'm convinced it is a sock puppet for curie.  They're so good that FCPS has to keep changing their admissions policy to keep out their students.  [/quote]

FCPS isn't just trying to keep it curie students, FCPS is trying to keep out a particular demographic to make room for other groups.  It's well intentioned racism in their minds.  The GOOD kind of racism [/quote]

False. They weren’t trying to reduce the number of Asian students, they were trying to increase representation from across the county. That’s why they ADDED seats. It wasn’t zero sum.

Today we have kids from all middle schools, not just the affluent feeders.

Could the admissions process be improved? Sure. But it’s much, much better than it was. Having &lt;1% of the class coming from economically-disadvantaged families (in a county with 35%+ ED) was appalling.

It wasn't &lt;1% but it was low.  Single digits for sure.

If racial, economic and geographic diversity is the purpose of a place like TJ then the new process is a success.  If academic excellence is you objective then the new admissions process is a resounding failure.[/quote]
