[quote=Anonymous]I think they were forced to confront this either when:
1) they had to prepare the report for the TJHSST’s 2021-22 school profile and did not have the data to back it up.  
2) They also might have finally realized that some of the wealthy middle schools with traditionally only a small % of students in the 8th grade had the overwhelming majority of the acceptances as FARMs.  Traditional number of 8th graders who are FARMs - Carson = about 90, Therou = about 80, Longfellow = about 50, Cooper = about 10.  They could not bury their heads in the sand any longer. 
3) Teachers or administrators (who actually care about education) at middle schools saw kids who were admitted who were not terribly strong.  They were concerned and asked Gatehouse to explain. 
4) A reporter (not from the Washington Post who just rubber stamps whatever FCPS says) read DCUM and starting asking some very basic questions. 
5) Maybe the students directly in the lawsuit are adding this to their claim.  And this is a belated CYA.
