[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well it's a bit much for a parent with a high scoring SAT kid, who is doing fine [b]years after unsuccessfully applying[/b] for some school (here TJ), filing out a FOIA request to confirm not only that the kid's score was indeed high (which is obvious) but exactly how many people the County can identify as scoring higher. And I suspect he was surprised that it was as many kids as they demonstrated. And Fairfax County was likely only counting kids who took the SAT as high school students in the county school system. There are a number of DC area 12 and 13 year olds who take the SAT every year. They register separately and wouldn't necessarily be on the county system. Nor would kids who went private instead of TJ (or elsewhere). The dedication to proving everything is A-OK and his kid's a genius seems obsessive. If it's good, rejoice. You don't have to prove it to anyone. [/quote]
I understand this perfectly and willing to join in with Matthews. The FCPS is punitive -- I would want to be well out of it before I started my lawsuit.[/quote]
