No, what I am saying is that you and your ilk are deliberately obtuse. You bring TJ up on every DC school forum and it is O-L-D!  As mentioned each and every time, DC has application schools. The schools are the sum total of the students who apply and attend. If you want better students (your words) then said students need apply. The courses and curriculum is already provided. TJ is a school of 2000 students with An available population size of 1.8 million people (primarily middle to upper income HHI). DC population is a little over half million with a significant number of people living below the poverty line. [/quote]

I never brought up better students. I posted about better curricula and schools in the same league as TJ. There is no reason why DC could not offer a school in the same league as TJ even if it were a smaller school.

The DCPS test in schools do [b]not[/b] have the same rigorous course offerings that TJ does nor do they have the same rigorous admission criteria.[/quote]

Actually I think you are way underestimating the potential number of students who would excel at a school like TJ right here in the district. You need to get out more. :roll:

The fact that you yourself are so dim-witted makes the rest of us suspect that your genetic offspring would have difficulty gaining admission to a school as rigorous as TJ.

Try this again. The district isn't going to create a school exactly like TJ, with the same curriculum and entrance criteria, because such a school in the district would serve about 70 students. Maybe 50 students.   That's a fair guess of how many DC residents could gain admission to TJ next year in Virginia and acquit themselves well.

Do you think it makes sense to build an entire high school with TJ's ridiculously expensive lab equipment for 70 kids?  Does it make sense to hire a duplicate set of TJ's current range of faculty to serve 50 kids instead of 2,000 kids? 
  
You see the same thing in practice with the fact that the distinct of Columbia has no medical school, no accredited law school, and no true university.  The numbers of potential students just aren't there.

So, grow the fuck up, learn your history, or move with your genius family to fairfax. [/quote][/quote]
