She is a very shallow reporter. To simply parrot the 33% low income figure - which is entirely unbelievable - without any mention of the fact that the question for that highly likely resulted in many non-low income kids replying yes to it - is the best example. [/quote]

Is anyone actually going to offer any evidence to support this claim?[/quote]

In the absence of any response from FCPS it has been established that the low-income claim is based on suspect FARMS data.  It takes a few minutes for FCPS and their publicity department to issue a clarification.  They have not. Because doing so will jeopardize their claim that “reform” has helped bring in more lower- income kids.

So the onus is on FCPS to issue a clarification.  All we get is TJAAG stooges on this Forum  parroting party points.  But no data and no formal clarification. [/quote]

FCPS has no responsibility to respond to a claim that has no basis in fact and has not been offered on any legitimate platform. Get someone with any credentials to report on it and maybe you'll get a response, but until then, you're a tin-foil hat conspiracy theorist.

The people pushing the Curie story at least had evidence that they were pointing to - actual stories from real TJ students who were named in the report.[/quote]

And you derive your legitimacy on an anonymous board because …

FCPS can speak for itself especially when enough people have requested the information.  And they will have to disclose when the case is up for hearing.

You and your fellow TJAAG minions can rest.  Or else identify yourself if you have any credibility.  What a pompous fool[/quote]

[b]The only advantage I have over you in terms of legitimacy is that I know what I'm talking about. [/b]

But that advantage is irrelevant to this conversation because I'm not asking for FCPS to respond to a wild-ass claim that I'm making that has no basis in fact. [/quote]

The definition of a pompous fool.  You don’t identify yourself, indulge in ideological hyperbole devoid of any factual corroboration for your position and tell us that you know more than us.  You are a troll - likely on the TJAAG payroll.  The Russians will pay you better[/quote]

You're gonna wear out the binding on that thesaurus there, friendo. But I get responses all the time that confirm that I know what I'm talking about. No one on these pages identifies themselves.

But the information that I put out on a regular basis actually helps people. And they express appreciation for it every day on these threads. My guess is that you've helped no one and attacked hundreds.

And no, I'm not on the TJAAG payroll. Do they even have a payroll? But I am an alum, and that informs a lot of my knowledge and understanding. I've done the hard work that you haven't.[/quote]

Get it that you are the second coming of Jesus.  You know what you are talking about.  You are endlessly thanked for the information that you put out by multiple people.  And you are a TJ alum.  We should all bow to you.  You are the next Marvel superhero with the superpower of being the know-all of the anonymous internet forums.

Get off your pedestal.  You have an opinion which is not substantiated by facts.  I have an opinion and I have presented facts.  You may not agree with my facts.  That is on you.  I am calling you out on your lack of facts.  I am not claiming to be right because "I know, I just do" like you.  You are a partisan with a partisan narrative.  That is clear to everyone on this Board.  "I know, I just do" will get you ovation in your echo chamber not here.

So back-off and let FCPS speak for themselves.  And if you speak for FCPS, identify yourself.  Till that time you are a troll - one with lots of free time on her hands.  And that is not the profile of a typical TJ grad.

You are not a troll but part of a troll farm

[/quote]

What facts have you actually presented that are relevant to the conversation? The only thing you've cited is that FCPS asked a question. Everything beyond that assertion is complete speculation. And that is the ENTIRETY of what I'm saying here.

At no point do I claim to speak for FCPS. But you have presented a conspiracy theory with little-to-no evidence, and you have people believing you because they desperately want to believe you - and are betraying their lack of intellectual rigor in the process.

Prove your claim.[/quote]

Your pomposity knows no bounds.  Now you are playing messiah to the misguided folks who are clinging to straws.  Here is a little secret - you don’t have a monopoly on intelligence on this board.  Others are smart and legitimately exercising their intelligence.

Here is the issue

-  FCPS claims the TJ reform increased the number of low- income students at TJ
-  No basis has been cited for this claim
-  FCPS has historically used FARMS data as a proxy for income
-  In the absence of any clarification from FCPS, it is safe to assume that FCPS relied on FARMs data
-  During the pandemic, the FARMS program offered eligibility to all students and was not truly representative of low-income
-  in addition, the question on the TJ application was poorly worded so that any applicant of whatever income-strata could be eligible 
-  You have made a claim that FCPS has income data beyond FARMS.  And done nothing to substantiate the claim.  My income data is private - I would like to know if FCPS has access, LoL.

At best, the FCPS claim is suspect and at worst it is false.  If you smell a conspiracy there, you smell a conspiracy everywhere.

All it takes is for FCPS to clarify the basis on which they claim this increase in socio- economic diversity (which is wonderful if true)[/quote]

I have made ZERO claims. Others have confirmed that FCPS has relevant data - which they always do and it would make sense that they do.

No one has questioned the FARMS data that was cited from previous years. They only question it now because it's convenient to do so.

It's not safe to assume anything because no one has formally requested any clarifications from FCPS. Whining on here and pretending that you've called the admissions office is not confirmation of your suspicions.

The word for what you're doing is "sophistry". Look it up.[/quote]

Call the TJ Admissions office and ask them.  I did back in November and they confirmed that parents could say yes.

FCPS does not have income data on families.  Full stop.  They are not collecting tax returns.  The only data used to give the economically disadvantaged experience factor was how parents responded to these two questions.

If I was the parent of a child with an IEP or a child that was actually low income, I would be very upset.  [/quote]

But they do have FARMS data for all current students - FULL STOP. Stop trying to create a conspiracy where none exists.[/quote]
