[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've had separate but equal education in the US under segragation.

I don't understand why there is not more of an emphasis 
on getting local African American children who qualify for enrollment to get them enrolled rather than operating an elite high school on taxpayer dime that educates Spaniards from Spain and dark skinned  students from Africa who come from elite families in their native lands.[/quote]

Because FCPS doesn't want to pay from PreK through middle school for an all in supporting type of program... And let's be real here, this is the type of support that would be needed at a [b]minimum [/b]to educate the kids who do not have the opportunities a typical TJ attendee has. I actually think that from a funding perspective it's doable because many people in this county would legitimately support paying a bit more tax for a serious attempt at lowering the racial gap at the elite TJ level.

But FCPS would neeever do it as it would open up a can of worms as to how they're finding and selecting kids for these programs which would lead to the same type of equity issues on this thread but within minority groups. Also FCPS doesn't come close to prepping for TJ with its AAP program; it's the high quality outside school enrichment programs + dedicated parenting at early ages that achieves this, which means FCPS could not feasibly do it.
