[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymousquote] being “smarter” doesn’t get you into TJ. It helps, yes but it is not enough. Want the best predictor? ethnicity/AAP center. The AAP centres with the most Asians get the most kids into TJ. And don’t minimise parental ambition on this score. There are prep classes I know of in western part of the county where 5th graders are being prepped for the TJ exam. Most of the attendees are Indian and Korean. In fact, smart white kids are increasingly saying fuck it; whites application to TJ have dropped noticeably in recent years. [/quote] Agreed. All of this. It starts in the AAP centers. Look at a typical class of third graders. Predominantly Asian. We are back to (hate to use this word) segregation. FCPS loves to proclaim and promote diversity but look at what isn't diverse: AAP education. TJ in no way reflects diversity.[/quote]
