[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]except they are gifted in math, presumably[/quote] What's the use of labeling kids as gifted if they don't have the required knowledge for early TJ Math classes and are left to struggle without assistance? If FCPS has chosen an equity-based admission approach, they should start by identifying those who aren't adequately prepared and openly offer remedial support to prevent any dropouts. [/quote] The easiest answer would be to implement a baseline competence test for all TJ applicants. Kids scoring below the threshold should not be offered admissions. They wouldn't necessarily need to use the scores as an admissions factor for kids above the threshold. Expanding access to TJ is great. Admitting kids who lack the requisite foundations and then setting them up to fail isn't. [/quote]
