[quote=Anonymous][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]
There are multiple posters on this thread. I posted the link but not anything else.  It says in the article that immigrants came from China, South Korea, and India who know about TJ before coming here. Before you make negative posts about articles being misused, read them.
Otherwise, you lose all credibility and look like a troll.  :roll: [/quote]

Stop with the eye rolling and troll calling.  I read the article.  I think this is the sentence you may be referring to:That reputation has attracted a flurry of recent immigrants from South Korea, China and India, some of whom learn about TJ long before landing in the United States.

Again, nothing says that they immigrated here TO GO TO TJ.  It just says they are recent immigrants who know about the school prior to moving.  Perhaps when the decision came to move to Silver Spring or Fairfax they decided to come to Fairfax for TJ -- that doesn't mean that they immigrated to the US solely to send their children to TJ.
