[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp you is turning this into an attack on low income kids - please, that is not what the argument is here. Of COURSE there are some really smart and capable low income kids. Duh. And some of us (me included) even support the 1.5% MS pool allocations and support the bump for being low income.

The ENTIRE point here is whether it is credible that 1/3 (!!!!) of the TJ class is truly low income. This is just not believable. I’ll take your “I was wrong” a year from now though when FCPS uses the same admission formula and there are not more free meals for all and the FARMS figure curiously plummets. This WILL happen. While it may not have been ethical to reply yes to the free meals questions this year people who did were not lying. [/quote]

The number is obviously somewhere between 0.6% and 33%.

It really depends on how many parents were willing to cheat on the application.

There are many qualified, low-income students and we aren’t “lowering the bar” by giving them access to TJ.  :roll:

Reading the questions that were posed and responding to them is not cheating.

It was clear that this was a loophole.  If parents didn’t take advantage of it, that’s on them.

Sorry, but that’s the honest truth.

Knowingly taking advantage = cheating
