[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If the reports from DCUM are to be believed, not all of the kids with Algebra 2 are accepted as Freshman at TJ. I would assume the ones not accepted are from Carson, Longfellow, and Cooper. I would guess that the Algebra 2 kids from the schools that tend to send fewer kids, the ones without numbers reported,[b] are more likely to have been accepted since those are likely in the top 1.5% of the pool[/b] and would be the most likely to apply from the less represented MS. [/quote] Why would you assume that? The top 1.5% is based on essays, GPA, and experience factors. There are [b]no bonus points given for the kid's math level[/b].[/quote] Are there any classes on how to improve your experience factors? [/quote] Many claimed to get free or reduced lunch illegally to improve their odds. I think they even got away with it.[/quote] Free or reduced lunch is a motivator to improve school attendance and keep kids off the street. More of these motivators need to be implemented at bottom base schools. But it is cruel for equity activists to encourage poorly educated free lunch students to apply to TJ to satisfy an equity diversity numbers chart, knowing well those innocent students would suffer exponentially more to survive at TJ than at base school. [/quote] Are they encouraging poorly educated free lunch students to apply to TJ or high achieving free lunch students to apply there? [b]A lot of this discourse comes from upper middle class Asians [/b]who are racist and elitist and assume that lower income kids can't possibly be as smart as their Curie and Kumon-stuffed kids. FCPS has told them to sit down or at least move over, and that's a good thing. [/quote] you are a racist[/quote] No, but I listened to Asian neighbors openly make racist comments for years. Not my fault a lot of these folks have no filter. [/quote]
