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 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneron_Science_Talent_Search [/quote] [b]One talent search.... oooohhhhh. Big whoop.[/b] 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. [/quote] Gosh you are really dumb. What do you think the link above where the girl from TC Williams won the $250,000 and you were so hyped about refer to? Do you know what's the regeneron-sts? You obviously don't. It is the biggest, most prestigious math and science competition in the nation. The Super Bowl of all STEM competitions. TJ, all STEM schools and other great HS want to have scholars and finalists in this competition. Boy you are dumb and ignorant. You're not educated enough to have an intellectual argument. [/quote] Westinghouse (What you call Regeneron) doesn’t have the clout of ISEF- you would know this if you watched Science Fair like a good nerdy mom. And you’ve never won it. TJ has and if you read the link- 2019, we won $150k. We also won top prize: something you have never done. And FCPS send a kid from Reston to win too- something I don’t see MCPS doing. Because MCPS sucks at science. Westinghouse was prestigious before, kinda like Blair. Now it’s all ISEF and TJ. You sound old and dated. Good luck with your higher taxes and your lack of self worth.
