[quote=Anonymous]Not sure that pointing to the option school model in APS is very relevant to the problems created or exacerbated by TJ. It's hardly a lottery school; rather, it's an invitation-only school that has very skewed admissions practices. In addition, the option schools in APS educate kids in APS, not a whole host of other jurisdictions. So they don't take seats that otherwise might be available to other APS students. They simply reallocate them differently within APS. In contrast, TJ's operation as a regional magnet in a county with multiple overcrowded schools makes the overcrowding at other schools within FCPS worse. And the very TJ parents who otherwise might play a role in addressing those problems throw up their hands, profess indifference to the impact on other schools and students, and insist vehemently that their kids should continue to get a better deal than everyone else. Absolutely revolting. [/quote]
