Holy smokes.

VIRGINIA got three ISEF awards this past year,raking in over 400k. TJ, McLean, TC Williams. The two in Fairfax got 240K

Yeah, I think we'll keep our FCPS schools and you can stay in MCPS.[/quote]
DP- but do you know who is leading this competition in the above link?
You are not doing yourself any favors.[/quote]

Oh honey, Blair didn’t teach you reading comprehension or math skills with that delusional sense of grandeur, huh? It’s a shame. You can’t actually show how winning $150k in ISEF money, sending more kids to HYPS, winning at Science Bowl, getting ranked at #4 makes TJ less than Blair because all you can type out is “We’re not a full magnet!” MCBro: if those 100 kids were doing so great, you wouldn’t clutch into this myth so hard. Those kids would be winning.  But they aren’t. And sadly- neither are you.

But hey- enjoy the increased poverty and crime rates. We will enjoy our tech jobs and lower taxes. [/quote]
I am even going to spend time and explain to you because we can see you you are just too dumb and ignorant to understand.
I will just post the link and maybe,  just maybe  you might see why you are not doing yourself any favors and an embarrassment to TJ and FCPS

One talent search.... oooohhhhh. Big whoop. TJ isn't on the bottom of the list: we compete with Stuyvesant and Bronx.  So even though you sent more kids to this one thing, you still can't beat out our school ranking nationally, how many kids we send to HYPS, the number of Science Bowl winnings, the number of ISEF winnings, or even the prestige, but you eek out one little score to "prove" stem superiority? Because you're number 1 in one thing vs. so many others? Because you only have 100 kids?

Please: you can only attract 100 kids in Blair. Your school system is failing its kids from the ground up because you can't expand the program. If you were so great, you would be able to fill an entire school. But you can't. Because MCPS schools aren't providing for your kids from elementary schools up anymore. And until you can actually see that as the real truth, and provide better data than just Regeneron (which from what I can tell is your only star), you need to stop showing your lack of data comprehension. Throwing a link out vs. however many more there are, including the Polaris List from the beginning, just makes you look bad.

For OP: be happy you don't live in MCPS anymore. The parents there are super delusional and have to troll a FCPS forum to help themselves sleep better at night.

I believe approx 800 kids applied for those 100 spots..[/quote]
