[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is really disheartening to AAP kids especially at feeder schools. You work really hard to stand out and when its time to start seeing first glimpse of positive outcomes, the rules are changed below their feet that nullify everything they are good at and stand out and loose out to others who did the bare minimum in whats essentially a lottery in flatted out selection criteria and not able to even qualify for significant booster criteria coming from other factors. [/quote] These kids have all sorts of resources available to them. They will be fine. [/quote] Go to the chat rooms. It is scary there. The students who worked hard will not be fine. Neither are the 21 students who dropped out in 9th grade from TJ. For whatever reason, the enrollment is now 529 as of the end of March. They may also not be fine.[/quote] They were never guaranteed admission to TJ. They will be fine. [/quote] Repeating something doesn't make it true. If you had worked hard for something in your life, you would probably feel differently. [/quote] It’s true. They will be fine. They have plenty of resources available to them. In fact, they will probably have better chances at top schools at their base school. They were never entitled to a seat at TJ. Shame on their parents if they didn’t prepare them for alternate scenarios. [/quote] So....the reason for TJ is that you think a lot of the schools in FCPS with fewer Asian kids suck and kids who'd otherwise attend them need special help so they might have some chance to avoid them. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the other schools attended by the vast majority of kids in those areas. [/quote] That’s not what I said at all. ?? [/quote]
