You taught DC integrity which is valuable. Also,. I'm still hoping they investigated everyone who ticked off these boxes and disqualified anyone who lied.[/quote]

It was not a lie.  To answer no was the real lie, since everyone was eligible for free meals.  People asked the admissions office and were told they could answer yes.  To disqualify someone for answering correctly is unethical.  They could maybe investigate and take away the bonus points.[/quote]

We all know what the questions meant.

Very unethical to misrepresent your family situation.

I guess some people will try to rationalize their bad behavior.

“We all knew” ?

What we did not know was the confidential scoring rubric the SB kept hidden from parents:  1/4 of TJ admissions is based on actual math talent. 1/4 is based on GPA and 50% of the application is based on non academic criteria.

Fact is, the SB severely diminished academics in how they select for TJ.

The purely democrat SB is not alone in watering-down academics in Virginia, diminishing our school system, short-changing our children’s future, and making US ultimately less competitive in the world.[/quote]

I'll take the Ds who actually want to educate our kids - ALL of our kids. Not just the ones who can manage to get spots at charter schools/private schools (vouchers).
