[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved this article

To the parents who are frustrated at the number of mods who could handle TJ work but were turned away, wouldn’t it make more sense to lobby for creating another high school that has this level of challenge so all the capable kids can get the best possible public school education rather than figuring out who to deny this to?  I’d love to see more schools raise their expectations so kids can get as far as they can go.  [/quote]

Yeah sure but we can’t even get a renovation for Mclean HS. A new HS will do nothing to help the very capable students who were rejected this year.  [/quote]
If they are capable of being successful at TJ, they will be successful wherever they go.[/quote]

This.

There have always been capable student not accepted to TJ. Every year there are more applications then spots. And every year the kids who are not accepted attend their base schools or move to a private school. You are all acting like this is a new thing, it's not. You just don't like not getting a spot because a smart kid from a high FARMs school was accepted and your kid was not. And now you are bemoaning that there FARMs kids at TJ and how they won't be able to keep up because they don't have the money for tutoring. [/quote]

Tutoring comment is from troll who wants to muddy the waters. No one has time to do tutoring in the middle of all the TJ work. [/quote]
