[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not everyone belongs to TJ, those who don’t and get pushed in simply suffer, whether they are pushed in by overzealous parents or overzealous politicians.  A differential equation doesn’t care what color of skin you have.  Either  you can solve it or you can’t. [/quote]

You don't need to take differential equations in high school to succeed as a STEM major in college.  TJ's goal should be to prepare high school kids for succeeding in STEM majors in college, not to make high school into college.  I think that focus on making high school more like college instead of preparing kids to succeed in college is where TJ has gone off track and so is failing all except a small segment of the FCPS student body.  Those who want a simulated college experience in high school should pay to have that privately and should not be able to use a public school for that purpose to the detriment of others.  [/quote]

Nope. TJ produces not just STEM majors for college but leaders in STEM fields- students who go on to earn MD/PhD and conduct research, STEM professors, Tech Company founders etc. not a science education grad from GMU or ODU.[/quote]

The arrogance that is constantly on display makes one of the most compelling cases in favor of reform. [/quote]
