[quote=Anonymous]Most of our High Schools in Fairfax have good enough offerings in AP courses.  Smart kids will end up staying at their local high schools, providing each other more intense and  competitive environment.  Those kids will go on to raise the SAT scores at their schools.  Those kids will now have better chances getting into the better colleges, because they are applying from a famous S&T magnet school.  I still see the proposed reform as an attempt to infringe upton the 14th amendment rights of Asians applying to TJ, and will do what I can to make sure this is not buried.  As far as my child is concerned, though, I see the pros of staying where he is.  If he doesn't get lotteries in, he'll miss out on the extra tech at TJ, but by no means will that affect his chances at college.

I am just really confused by URM support of the proposal, though.  The proposed process does not help increase the URM numbers much.  If I were an URM, I would be fighting to improve the offerings at the pyramid HS's that need it, and maybe try to organize out-reach tutoring by TJ Alums for the kids in grades K-8[/quote]
