[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The question is not whether the current State and county admin are racist and anti-asian (They obviously are).

The real question is are they neglecting black and Latino populations (also true).

The problem is with uneven quality of elementary schools in the poorer (and thus black/Latino) areas.  TJ is just a symptom, not the problem.  Dumbing down TJ solves nothing.

They need to up the standards and increase consistency and equity in elementary schools in all areas by bringing UP the lower performing schools, not by bringing down the higher performing schools.

No.  The real question is what is done in FCPS curriculum from K-8.  There should be no need for a Curie , Saturday school, or any of the tutor /test prep companies.  From class of 2010 to 2024 white applicants for TJ decreased by about 740.  Yet on various threads some choose to call ut this FCPS endeavor as an effort to increase white enrollment.  Maybe it is for some base schools like Sandburg etc. FCPS used to have some middle schools with HS bio 1 - worked out well but TJ IBET drove away that engine for the vast majority of good students in grade 8.

Now they'll remove the tJ application fee and plan to hire more staff.  In this pandemic these people need to be recalled.  That site should be a 1/2 day academy co-located with a base school so students can use the labs that taxpayers have paid to put all in one place. [/quote]
