[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ as it known now is for sure done, and good riddance! Next up: AAP admissions reform.

I don’t know why families thought they could cheat their way through a system meant for *actually* gifted students by starting test prep in elementary school (or earlier). News flash: if your child preps for a 2nd grade cognitive assessment, the score is invalid, and your child is not “exceptionally gifted”.[/quote]

Right.  Giftedness can only be found on street corners and in homes where parents take little interest in their children's education ([b]but make sure they have nice shoes and a Play Station[/b]).  I'm so glad FCPS will have a new Chief Equity Officer who can spot these natural wonders. [/quote]

watch your racist dog whistle[/quote]

You must be referring to the comment about prepping in 2nd grade?[/quote]

PP here. While I agree that the anti -Asian racism on this board is astounding, I actually took the reference to prepping for the COGAT as a dig on the White moms who parent- refer into AAP. - that is the stereotype in my school. In any case, the comment I bolded is racist AF. [/quote]

Shoes and a playstation? I don't get why ppl are saying this is racist in any way...[/quote]

Calling things "racist" comes as second nature to some people.  It's especially convenient when it's an excuse to avoid discussing the merits (or lack thereof) of an admissions approach that assumes the best way to level the playing field is to authorize some "Chief Equity Officer" to award bonus points in her discretion to kids because they aren't Asian or don't attend a school that has had "too many" kids going to TJ.
