[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As parent of a TJ graduate, and a Fairfax County taxpayer, it is totally acceptable ... indeed preferable ... to me that the opportunity to attend TJ be offered in equal shares to all middle schools. Some say the kids from the non traditional feeder schools won't make it. I am rooting for those kids and hope very much that they get a chance to shine at TJ. But if they can't keep up, then perhaps we learn something about the quality of education at the middle schools they came from (and perhaps also about the disparity in outside resources for the kids in those schools). [/quote] That's actually a very fair and simple solution. Have an admissions test and offer an equal share to all middle schools. Maybe even have some kind of low cutoff (or not). so if students are really weak, they won't have to endure TJ. middle school performance may actually improve. and the process is not now racially biased. I have no dog in the race here btw. [/quote]
