@paracosmm79 but the thing about standardized testing in a state is they’re the same exact tests, private or public that’s why they’re standardized that’s how they get the results from each state. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a poor area at public school or the richest area in a private school if it’s in the same state you will have the exact same test. It’s just research has shown generally poorer areas have lower scores and they’re able to figure that out because of them being the same test you have something concrete you can score and average it out.
Merit has never been a thing. Have you heard the college admissions scandal?, nepotism. Good for the schools teaching real life experiences. Remember kids no merit is ever going to compete with rich kids getting the job you want due to connections or kissing someone’s buttocks.
Actually, they are basing it on merit with this new policy. They are just allowing the applications to come from a broader base, not just a selective housing area. They are also REMOVING the ethnicity part of the application so that the decision committee looks specifically at merit. This is good.
Mom @1:20- unless I'm missing something, all this does is give everyone a fair chance. The admissions people no longer know ethnicity of the applicants, how is this a bad thing? The best kids, the kids that deserve to be there, are getting in BECAUSE they have the grades, not because of the color of their skin. * I'm extremely tired tonight so if I'm way off base please feel free to educate me. 😊
That is what the mom @1:20 is supporting. I.E., admissions based on grades or merit. You are not in disagreement. The parents were FOR merit based admissions, and against limits on members from a particular race. In agreeing with the school system (and against the parents), the SCOTUS in effect said racial considerations COULD be used.
they're claiming limits based on location is race base discrimination but they can move to other neighborhoods just like they decide to focus on making their kids study for the test constantly. they're mad. they're 20-year. plan is messed up for their children. this is a class thing.
It's wrong to base everything on grades. If you live in a wealthy district you have better education because you have more resources which means better grades. I went to an wealthy high school for one class. I learned more in that one class than i did in all of my English classes.

This was a terrible report. While the admissions process no longer took into account race, it added factors such as the income of the parents and the neighborhood they live in. Factors which have no place in merit based admissions.

@@agendaxpushers1322 ethnicity. You can’t divide humans into race. Race is a social construct to keep people divided.And I’m pretty they are complaining about how admissions are working in the Jefferson school.
Is this a private school? If so then, so what, they can admit anyone for any reason. Are they government funded in any way by our tax money? Then race should have nothing to do with admissions. Only grades. There shouldn't even be an interview process because then they can just say a student didn't seem like a good fit when they don't want that race in the school. If they want to get tax money then it should be based on grades. You can't even tell them 10% of this race, 20% of that one, because that still ends up discriminating against a higher scoring student who is the wrong race to fill some ridiculous race quota. Every single seat in a school changes a life. Lets be sure we are not destroying the lives of our best citizens, whatever race they are.
Its a public school, they don't know the race of the students applying. They don't even know the student name because their name in many cases can indicate what race they are. They did base it on grades, anyone with a 3.5 GPA was eligible. The only thing they know is whether they come from an advantaged or disadvantaged school. In the advantaged schools a cottage industry of test prep centers developed. That gave those students an significant advantage over the disadvantaged areas.
@@jefflewis4 I'd love to see an application for a public school which does not include a required field for name, and address, both of which give a very good idea of race, and economic situation.
This policy makes it more competitive. Instead of students from a few middle schools competing with top students, they compete with students from all middle schools in the area. It's okay you can say what you really want to.
This IS literally more meritorious. How is it more meritorious for majority of admitted students admitted because they went to certain middle schools??? As long as your education was here instead of there, it's easy for you to get admitted. NOW the policy means you have to compete with students from other schools as well. That's an EQUAL non-race based ground but you're still complaining because what? There's more black students? That's what it is right? you can say what you're thinking. We know.
How is it meritorious or fair for majority of admitted students being admitted because they went to certain middle schools??? As long as your education was here instead of there, it's easy for you to get admitted. NOW the policy means you have to compete with students from ALL other schools as well. That's an EQUAL non-race based ground. But certain people are still complaining that it's Affirmative action, that it's racist. Why? Because there's inevitably more black students. A mere 6% increase. The white % increase was 4%, and 8% Hispanic increase. But people only have a problem with the black people. Some people are simple-thinking and lack general knowledge. They assume that everything is meritorious and fair. This is JUST like legacy. Which they also assume is fair. Because it benefits X... and not Y. According to THEM, any policy that admits less Y is automatically fairer. Congrats to the new 8% and 4% more hispanic and white students attending. Because it's only fair and not a problem in regards to them, right?
"Qualified"... we should assume so as a starting point... "Earn Their Place" ... yea..if you beat out everyone behind that didn't get..ah then No you definitely did not earn your place. If there were 100 seats and you placed 200 and you got in, but someone who would have placed 50 did not... you didn't earn your place... they Gave you someone elses...
I won’t comment on the racial discrimination allegations, but I will comment on the class disparity. Much like with any Ivy League university or prep school, there are kids who start receiving private tutors and take Saturday classes in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL to help prep them for the TJ admissions test in 8th grade. I grew up in that county. I was in honors classes, an A student, busted my butt in class despite having a rough childhood. I and many other students didn’t even know that the admissions test for TJ was happening till the day it was happening and by then it’s too late to sign up. Whereas the peers who ended up going, had LEGIT been receiving tutoring and help in preparing for it for years. I only found out about the test when classmates told me why they were extra stressed in gym class and they explained it all to me (their parents put EXTREME pressure on them to get in, but that’s a whole other conversation). It’s been over 20 years but I remember that day like it was yesterday 😂 because it was the first time I realized just how so many people have a leg up because of their parents. If I had known about the test, I would’ve signed up to take it. Having known a lot of TJ kids, they are all SUPER smart and deserve to be there. They work their a**es off to get in and stay in! That school is not for the faint of heart lol Much respect to them. The unfairness tho, lies beyond them. It’s economic. The kids that can afford private tutoring and have parents who have time to know about these schools/programs get a leg up on those who’s parents are either too impoverished or too uninformed to start prepping their kids for these opportunities straight out of the womb.
No it's not, that's why parents shell out the dough for their little darlings to be tutored .They have a heads up on the material that you may not have so you are at a disadvantage test wise.
Not correct. In ultra competitive areas in nova, kids start prepping for tests by the age of 3 The solution could be to open a new TJ2 for all students and allot based on diversity of school then both merit and diversity are satisfied
The people in this comment section parroting the word "merit" over and over skipped comprehension class. The school didn't change their testing or grade requirements, they are just pulling students from additional schools. From the story, a lot of these other schools have lower income students in them. The people in the comments automatically saying "the standards are lowered and that this isn't based on merit anymore." And that essentially those kids don't deserve to get in are saying that the poor kids are inherently dumb, unworthy, and incapable. That's all kinds of prejudiced.
Please don't forget this is a pubic high school. I went to this school in 1968 and 69. I lived on the street behind the school and walked to school every day. My family moved back to Washington State in 1969 and graduated from Kent-Meriden in 1971. What the heck is going on? The people in the knighthood pay the taxes for this school and should have access. I remember TJ as a good school and it helped me in my career. But really? The public school system needs to be focused on the needs of the community and if parents want their kids to compete then they should be looking at private schools. This is a good court decision and I'm very glad it stands.
I get listening can be difficult sometimes, so let me point out what was mentioned in this video. They expanded the schools from which they get applications from and removed race from the application. The idea that they weren't qualified and didn't earn their place is ridiculous. Also if you could make up your mind on if school applications should include race would be nice, doesn't seem like you understand what side of that issue you're on. Lastly if you could elaborate on why allowing more kids the opportunity to get an education is a good thing that would be nice.
Yes, we absolutely would. How do you know the students aren't qualified? That's an assumption. At my college, people considered me the diversity charity case. Until they found out my SAT score and GPA were higher than theirs.

Governor schools admission is NOT based on MERIT and never were designed to be. They exist for the HIGHLY and EXCEPTIONALLY gifted to receive a unique education. It's not just how hard you can work, but how gifted you naturally are and how that gift can be developed.

If the best students are mostly Asian….I’m failing to see how this is a problem. Do we really NEED a charcuterie board of races in the school if the idea is to obtain and retain the very best students? I don’t see how that really helps anyone. Is it so we can be like all “trendy” and “vibey” and stuff? Completely negates the purpose of selective-admission schools
As long as "best" means more than memorizing an spitting out verbatim answers. They need to look at the whole picture. This isn't a job interview where one has to demonstrate his skills. This is only getting an OPPORTUNITY to learn. Many of the best folks, such as Einstein, learned differently.
@@77Creationif the district is predominantly one race then that happens naturally. Confused by what you are saying there. Race should not be allowed to be listed on a students application or a work application. It solves a lot of problems.
The problem is the best students are no longer being picked they are going into other schools and not taking the best. Pretty much the way of the liberal these days, cant wait until the doctors of tomorrow were fortunate enough to get into schools, not based on merit, but race of socio economic regions.
I love how the guy at the end talks about people being labeled as the 'equity student', in this case the diversity hire is anyone but an Asian student lol.

Usually “conclusions” come at the end of a line of reasoning, which in your case is either missing or unimportant to state because its sole purpose was to express your pre-existing beliefs
“You are an equity student…”. That is the result of bad parenting, not the result of an inclusive policy. The parent that says now her kid’s ethnicity puts them at disadvantage, what disadvantage? They are still admitted, right?
Will they know what school the student is coming from? I wonder if an issue with making assumption of socioeconomic class and race. Will there be scholarships available to those students who need it?

Think of it this way, If I put you in competition with some guy to build a car, but I only gave you sticks and rocks, and I gave the other person working car parts. If you came anywhere close to building a car, imagine what you could do with actual tools and parts. It's like adjusting for inflation.
This is hilarious! First, they wanted to abolish affirmative action and now they want it back because they thought they were hurting black kids. 😂😂😂 That’s what they get!!!

@@elohel3293but they still crying about race.
@@agendaxpushers1322 ethnicity. You can’t divide humans into race. Race is a social construct to keep people divided.And I’m pretty they are complaining about how admissions are working in the Jefferson school.
Is this a private school? If so then, so what, they can admit anyone for any reason. Are they government funded in any way by our tax money? Then race should have nothing to do with admissions. Only grades. There shouldn't even be an interview process because then they can just say a student didn't seem like a good fit when they don't want that race in the school. If they want to get tax money then it should be based on grades. You can't even tell them 10% of this race, 20% of that one, because that still ends up discriminating against a higher scoring student who is the wrong race to fill some ridiculous race quota. Every single seat in a school changes a life. Lets be sure we are not destroying the lives of our best citizens, whatever race they are.
Its a public school, they don't know the race of the students applying. They don't even know the student name because their name in many cases can indicate what race they are. They did base it on grades, anyone with a 3.5 GPA was eligible. The only thing they know is whether they come from an advantaged or disadvantaged school. In the advantaged schools a cottage industry of test prep centers developed. That gave those students an significant advantage over the disadvantaged areas.
@@jefflewis4 I'd love to see an application for a public school which does not include a required field for name, and address, both of which give a very good idea of race, and economic situation.
Some people are just not competitive, And no policy will ever change that
This policy makes it more competitive. Instead of students from a few middle schools competing with top students, they compete with students from all middle schools in the area. It's okay you can say what you really want to.
What’s so difficult to just focus on merit based. This is insane.
This IS literally more meritorious. How is it more meritorious for majority of admitted students admitted because they went to certain middle schools???
As long as your education was here instead of there, it's easy for you to get admitted.
NOW the policy means you have to compete with students from other schools as well. That's an EQUAL non-race based ground but you're still complaining because what? There's more black students? That's what it is right? you can say what you're thinking. We know.
@@bunnywavyxx9524 they’re telling on themselves
"I'm not racist, I'm just upset the school is 75% minority"
The school does discrimate - not by race but by test scores. Seems legit.
How is it meritorious or fair for majority of admitted students being admitted because they went to certain middle schools???
As long as your education was here instead of there, it's easy for you to get admitted.
NOW the policy means you have to compete with students from ALL other schools as well. That's an EQUAL non-race based ground.
But certain people are still complaining that it's Affirmative action, that it's racist. Why?
Because there's inevitably more black students. A mere 6% increase. The white % increase was 4%, and 8% Hispanic increase. But people only have a problem with the black people.
Some people are simple-thinking and lack general knowledge. They assume that everything is meritorious and fair.
This is JUST like legacy. Which they also assume is fair. Because it benefits X... and not Y.
According to THEM, any policy that admits less Y is automatically fairer. Congrats to the new 8% and 4% more hispanic and white students attending. Because it's only fair and not a problem in regards to them, right?
"Qualified"... we should assume so as a starting point... "Earn Their Place" ... yea..if you beat out everyone behind that didn't get..ah then No you definitely did not earn your place. If there were 100 seats and you placed 200 and you got in, but someone who would have placed 50 did not... you didn't earn your place... they Gave you someone elses...
I won’t comment on the racial discrimination allegations, but I will comment on the class disparity. Much like with any Ivy League university or prep school, there are kids who start receiving private tutors and take Saturday classes in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL to help prep them for the TJ admissions test in 8th grade. I grew up in that county. I was in honors classes, an A student, busted my butt in class despite having a rough childhood. I and many other students didn’t even know that the admissions test for TJ was happening till the day it was happening and by then it’s too late to sign up. Whereas the peers who ended up going, had LEGIT been receiving tutoring and help in preparing for it for years. I only found out about the test when classmates told me why they were extra stressed in gym class and they explained it all to me (their parents put EXTREME pressure on them to get in, but that’s a whole other conversation). It’s been over 20 years but I remember that day like it was yesterday 😂 because it was the first time I realized just how so many people have a leg up because of their parents. If I had known about the test, I would’ve signed up to take it. Having known a lot of TJ kids, they are all SUPER smart and deserve to be there. They work their a**es off to get in and stay in! That school is not for the faint of heart lol Much respect to them. The unfairness tho, lies beyond them. It’s economic. The kids that can afford private tutoring and have parents who have time to know about these schools/programs get a leg up on those who’s parents are either too impoverished or too uninformed to start prepping their kids for these opportunities straight out of the womb.
This is such nonsense. You don't have to be rich to study hard and care about school.
No it's not, that's why parents shell out the dough for their little darlings to be tutored .They have a heads up on the material that you may not have so you are at a disadvantage test wise.
Not correct. In ultra competitive areas in nova, kids start prepping for tests by the age of 3
The solution could be to open a new TJ2 for all students and allot based on diversity of school then both merit and diversity are satisfied
The people in this comment section parroting the word "merit" over and over skipped comprehension class.
The school didn't change their testing or grade requirements, they are just pulling students from additional schools. From the story, a lot of these other schools have lower income students in them.
The people in the comments automatically saying "the standards are lowered and that this isn't based on merit anymore." And that essentially those kids don't deserve to get in are saying that the poor kids are inherently dumb, unworthy, and incapable.
That's all kinds of prejudiced.
Wrong
@Factsmatter16 If facts do indeed matter, explain why my comment is "wrong".
Please don't forget this is a pubic high school. I went to this school in 1968 and 69. I lived on the street behind the school and walked to school every day. My family moved back to Washington State in 1969 and graduated from Kent-Meriden in 1971. What the heck is going on? The people in the knighthood pay the taxes for this school and should have access. I remember TJ as a good school and it helped me in my career. But really? The public school system needs to be focused on the needs of the community and if parents want their kids to compete then they should be looking at private schools. This is a good court decision and I'm very glad it stands.
If the students were qualified and earned their place in the school, we would not be having this conversation
I get listening can be difficult sometimes, so let me point out what was mentioned in this video. They expanded the schools from which they get applications from and removed race from the application. The idea that they weren't qualified and didn't earn their place is ridiculous. Also if you could make up your mind on if school applications should include race would be nice, doesn't seem like you understand what side of that issue you're on. Lastly if you could elaborate on why allowing more kids the opportunity to get an education is a good thing that would be nice.
There's no one more arrogant or condescending And wrong than a naive Idealistic white liberal.
Yes, we absolutely would. How do you know the students aren't qualified? That's an assumption.
At my college, people considered me the diversity charity case. Until they found out my SAT score and GPA were higher than theirs.

Governor schools admission is NOT based on MERIT and never were designed to be. They exist for the HIGHLY and EXCEPTIONALLY gifted to receive a unique education.
It's not just how hard you can work, but how gifted you naturally are and how that gift can be developed.
"The Virginia Governor's School Program has been designed to assist divisions as they meet the needs of a small population of students whose learning levels are remarkably different from their age-level peers. The foundation of the Virginia Governor's School Program centers on best practices in the field of gifted education and the presentation of advanced content to able learners."
Race. Should. Not. Be. A. Consideration.
Race is no longer in consideration. The applications are submitted without a name or race.
If the best students are mostly Asian….I’m failing to see how this is a problem. Do we really NEED a charcuterie board of races in the school if the idea is to obtain and retain the very best students? I don’t see how that really helps anyone. Is it so we can be like all “trendy” and “vibey” and stuff? Completely negates the purpose of selective-admission schools
As long as "best" means more than memorizing an spitting out verbatim answers. They need to look at the whole picture. This isn't a job interview where one has to demonstrate his skills. This is only getting an OPPORTUNITY to learn. Many of the best folks, such as Einstein, learned differently.
This is school. Not a job. No one group should be over represented, regardless of their race.
@@77Creationif the district is predominantly one race then that happens naturally. Confused by what you are saying there. Race should not be allowed to be listed on a students application or a work application. It solves a lot of problems.
@@Lux-j8z could you give examples of a few problems it would solve? I’d like some insight
The problem is the best students are no longer being picked they are going into other schools and not taking the best. Pretty much the way of the liberal these days, cant wait until the doctors of tomorrow were fortunate enough to get into schools, not based on merit, but race of socio economic regions.
They really thought equality meant this 🤦♂️

The school was 70% asian and is still over half. How is that not diverse?
@bunnywavyxx9524 well according to their lawsuit, there were black and Hispanic students who got spots that should've gone to Asian students due to 'merit'.
@@christopher3287 Those asians simply claimed someone took their spots and thats your reasoning? You simply believe it? No there weren't because the % of poor asian students increased. It benefitted all races but because you're too [redacted] you refuse to believe reality.

Actually companies are raising their requirements in response to the failing education system. Everybody loses!
Usually “conclusions” come at the end of a line of reasoning, which in your case is either missing or unimportant to state because its sole purpose was to express your pre-existing beliefs
Working hard and being smart doesn't count anymore.
“You are an equity student…”. That is the result of bad parenting, not the result of an inclusive policy. The parent that says now her kid’s ethnicity puts them at disadvantage, what disadvantage? They are still admitted, right?
Be capable to teach your children and have the savvy to let them know about rejecting evil aspects.
Wait, so they see a black kid and think…he don’t belong here 😅
60% Asians? Where ARE we?
Violation of law and the Constitution- the SC would rather listen to some case about copyright law
Will they know what school the student is coming from? I wonder if an issue with making assumption of socioeconomic class and race. Will there be scholarships available to those students who need it?
This is a public Governors school (not private, no tuition). FCPS set it up to allot seats to EACH school instead of all going to only one middle school. If you are aware of how Governor Schools allot seats this is the #1 method to increase socioeconomic diversity.
