[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who gives a crap? Apparently the schools that supply the data.  If you descredit the best-schools that are published then I know you also disregard the worst-schools too.[/quote]

Who gives a crap? Hell, people emigrate here from foreign countries to attend TJ.[/quote]

LOL. No, they don't.[/quote]

Actually, they do.  At least from South Korea, the mom brings the kids while dad stays in Korea.  Very common and there are companies set up that help people do this.  It's been written about in the S. Korean press for at least the past decade.[/quote]

Links or it didn't happen. You said countries, plural by the way.[/quote]
[url=http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2011-03-19/local/35207819_1_math-and-science-second-language-program-for-english-language]A Washington Post article[/url]  describes the phenomenon and effects it has had on the school.
Doing research is not impossible. Nitpicking about plurals dos not help in any way.[/quote]

There is nothing in that article that says parents are emigrating from S. Korea to go to TJ. Embassy kids tend to go to the same schools since they are insular communities. Writing about a school on an Embassy website isn't unique. Nor does it support your claim about companies who help people do this. [/quote]

These are not embassy kids but ones who immigrate here specifically to attend TJ:
