Why don’t we just shut down TJ instead? Let’s give up #1 high school in Virginia overnight instead of seeing this happen after the public officials who proposed such ridiculous change move to other higher positions, without being held accountable at all for any mess they created. Return all the taxes I paid so that we can afford to send kids to private schools which will not consider any lottery system. Do our children worth less than private-schools kids? They have to bet their future on chance, right? Do they deserve fair treatment or not? Will their effort matter or only money can buy them justice?

Lottery for education? How many people with winning lotteries have succeeded in the past? How about make sports team as lottery based? Even better, make election process as lottery based too. What a joke!

I am curious why they propose keeping the SIS with an essay and how will that play into the admissions process. I have noticed that students do not necessarily write that well at the 8th grade level unless they get some specific instruction.
