[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]all the current admissions process has done is increase the previously admitted 20+ lower level math algebra 1 applicants to about 190+, half of them struggle with poor grades and other half return to base school in first year, and some of those slots are backfilled with froshmore merit applicants? [/quote]

To be fair the froshmore applicants are selected on merit.[/quote]

Yes, they pick the top kids from each school instead of using a bogus test.[/quote]

Even assuming that each school has enough kids that are qualified for TJ, you aren't even selecting the top kids from each school.
You need the test to do that.[/quote]

What do you think grades are based on? It's tests and they give us a much more complete picture than a corrupted QuantQ. [/quote]

The grades?  It depends on the school.
But you're not even selecting the highest GPAs.  
It's not quite as bad as taking every kids with a 3.5 GPA and at least algebra 1 (which is about 40% of all FCPS 8th graders) and picking them out of a hat but it's pretty fukken random.

You've abandoned the concept of merit because you don't want to admit that academic merit is not evenly distributed across all populations.[/quote]
