[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curie has around 1000+ kids taking the TJ classes every year at the multiple centers they have. Ashburn alone has over 400 kids. These classes are super crowded and kids jam-packed. It's not a wonder that 10-15% of the kids got in. They only tell you who got in but never give out how many attempted. [/quote]

The fact that you have 1000 kids taking a $4200 course to help them get into TJ is an enormous problem no matter how successful it is.

The admissions process should not favor families who are able to pay this amount for students to have any kind of privileged access. This is true regardless of whether or not they were cheating. It's a public high school and ability to pay for access shouldn't be a part of the equation, period.[/quote]

What about parents who pay thousands for SAT preparation and AP prep so their DC can have better college options. That is unfair for chiuldren coming from families with limited resources too. [/quote]

FCPS has no control over the SAT and prep for the SAT.  They have exclusive control over TJHSST admissions.  [/quote]
