[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting back to the original post…

I hope the people who lied are kicked out!

I can’t believe the thread has turned into what the schools have done wrong, when it’s actually about parents who lied about being poor.[/quote]

Maybe it was a protest against the notion that kids should be placed at a disadvantage because their parents don't rely on government assistance.

The irony is that, at TJ for many years, there were Asian families who qualified for FARMS, but they wouldn't apply because they were too proud and didn't want their kids singled out as FARMS-eligible.  As a result, TJ had the lowest FARMS percentage of any HS in the county, with the possible exception of Langley.  Now it's the opposite, with some families who aren't really FARMS-eligible trying to exploit a loophole.  [/quote]

Keep on deluding yourself.  No parent was going to say they were not fARM if they were when being FARM makes it easier to get into TJ.

I get the TJ low FARM point, but that is a totally different thing.

Nice try.  [/quote]

Reading is not your strong suit, I see.  I hope you are better at math or science.

The prior post explained that, when there was no admissions advantage to being FARMS-eligible, Asian families at TJ under-enrolled in the program.  It didn't suggest the parents of FARMS-eligible students would not claim that status now that it is an advantage in the admissions process.  [/quote]

Check you own reading skills.  Did you miss the part where the other poster said maybe it was a protest against the fact that someone is disadvantaged for not being on government assistance?[/quote]
