[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]R.I.P TJ. This is some feels bad news:

"As Chief Equity Officer, Williams will be responsible for the Ombudsman Office, the Office of Professional Learning and Family Engagement, the Hearings Office, and admissions for Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology."

Just wait, TJ achievement level will naturally decrease, but their Ivy admission level will shoot through the roof.  There is a reason why a modestly accomplished diversity kid gets into every Ivy every year.  It's because there are so, so few of them nationwide.  TJ can make more.  They don't need to be on the US Physics team; that is for the nerds who are no long wanted at TJ.  Take calculus, score 1500 on SAT, pass the 23-and-me test, done.

You are misunderstanding the goals here.  It's no longer about education.

And once you redefine it that way, everything becomes crystal clear, including solutions for those who are actually "came to TJ for the sports", like in the old days.

Coursera.  Coursera.  Coursera.  Lab class here and there at GMU.  Maybe find a couple of parents who were teachers in the old country, and actually form micro private schools on that model.

It will be OK.[/quote]
