[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved this article

To the parents who are frustrated at the number of mods who could handle TJ work but were turned away, wouldn’t it make more sense to lobby for creating another high school that has this level of challenge so all the capable kids can get the best possible public school education rather than figuring out who to deny this to?  I’d love to see more schools raise their expectations so kids can get as far as they can go.  [/quote]

Yeah sure but we can’t even get a renovation for Mclean HS. A new HS will do nothing to help the very capable students who were rejected this year.  [/quote]
If they are capable of being successful at TJ, they will be successful wherever they go.[/quote]

Agree.  If these kids are gifted (which most of them are not, just prepped), they will succeed anywhere.  If they are truly intellectually curious, they will find the opportunities.  I have a kid like that, who did not go to TJ (we were not in FCPS then) but found plenty of intellectual opportunities on her own.  [/quote]

It’s still unfair to these capable kids if they are willing to go to TJ but couldn’t make it just because of the stupid politics. Don’t repeat the prep lie again and again. Those kids were able to do well without doing the prep test. [/quote]
