Does anyone remember the TJ SIS/Essay Prompts from previous years? Does anyone know if the any of the specialized 12th grade reviewers have leaked the prompts for this year?

Before I answer you question... how did you find out about specialized seniors? That is classified information. Either you have a sibling that went to TJ and was a specialized senior, or you have been talking with someone that is risking suspension.

Proof school is pointless right here.

They're training kids these days to be dumb transgendered drones who work happily for Jews.

Thank you for that homophobic and anti-Semitic comment. TJ respects all cultures :)

Anyway that information really shouldn't be publicized.

There is no such thing as "classified information" in a public school. Only Privacy Act information and the like can can not be released.

Come on Angel - the fix is in. Its obvious most of the people who get in have access to 'classified' information. Its fixed. Asians are not 300% smarter than every other race and they dont study hard enough to get through the exam at the rates they do. They PAY to get in. They PAY prep/cheating mills to train them for years on 'classified' information.

You seem smart, admit the obvious.

Wednesday, May 3, 2006

The outgoing principal of Fairfax County's elite Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology has apologized to students, parents and teachers for linking ethnicity to stealing and cheating by some students.

In the letter, Lodal said she was discussing theft and cheating in March at a PTSA meeting and "identified the ethnicity of the students who were caught and the percentage of these students who were involved with disciplinary issues in early 2006."

Lodal, who began her career in Fairfax schools in the 1970s and has been principal at three other schools, would not describe exactly what she said, but a teacher who attended the meeting and several parents who met with Lodal afterward said she noted that several of the offenders are Asian.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/02/AR2006050201589.html

From 2000–2006, Elizabeth V. Lodal served as the principal of Thomas Jefferson. In the spring of 2006, Lodal announced her retirement after 40 years as a public school educator and principal of four Fairfax County secondary schools. The timing of her retirement closely followed a situation in which Lodal stated that the pressures Asian parents are widely perceived to place on their children to excel at TJHSST resulted in Asian students committing a disproportionally high percentage of the cheating and theft incidents uncovered by the administration. After a negative response from the Asian community, Principal Lodal wrote a letter in the Parent, Teacher and Student Association Newsletter clarifying her remarks.[35

The Korean math prodigy at one of the nation’s top high schools had Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg on the phone, personally encouraging the teenager to attend Harvard University. She received letters from Harvard professors, encouraging her to bring her brilliant abilities to Cambridge next fall instead of accepting her admission to Stanford University on the opposite coast.

As she struggled to decide between five-figure scholarship promises from both schools, she got a novel offer: She could spend two years at each elite school as part of an arrangement just for her. The exciting dual-enrollment opportunity garnered starstruck coverage from Korean media outlets, which dubbed her the “Genius Girl.”

But none of it was true.

The baffling hoax has stunned the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Fairfax County, the top-ranked magnet program known as an intellectual proving ground for science wunderkinds, technology gurus, engineering buffs and math wizards — many of whom earn their way to the nation’s most prestigious colleges.

The senior’s tale of academic conquest of admission into what turned out to be a bogus program apparently was designed to impress her parents, peers and teachers as part of the annual cutthroat competition for the relatively tiny number of spots at the nation’s top schools. The faked admission story went much further than most teen fantasies because it made its way to the international media, where her parents ultimately admitted it was false and publicly shamed themselves before the Korean community.

Here is the 2017 TJ writing prompt:

"Most successful students at our school believe they need to cheat to succeed, and many of them began cheating in middle school. How will you reconcile your cheating to succeed with society's values for honesty."

What's your ethnicity and sex? Asians (both east and west) are heavily over-represented at TJ, comprising nearly two-thirds of the student body, and whites make up about a quarter of the rest. Males make up almost 60% of the student body.

So, if you're male and Asian or White, you are absolutely not going to get in, because they have literally dozens, if not hundreds of more qualified applicants.

Your only hope is to be Black or Hispanic, and hope that you squeak in under the umbrella of them wanting to have a more diverse student body. Being female wouldn't hurt, either. You will have to work your ass off, though, because you're going to be competing with some of the smartest and most capable students in this region.

Hopefully they don't weight verbal highly since you can't write worth a shit and there are multiple basic errors in your post.

I believe Lodal was principal when the TJ Admissions test theft scandal began. At that time people in the school system knew who had gotten the test and were in a position to identify the specific students who had benefited from the test. Higher ups told them not to pursue the matter, because revealing the information and going after those who were involved or who benefited would ruffle too many feathers.

Hello! I am a person who doesn't cheat but I want to know an example of an ethical prompt that was used in the previous years of TJ. Don't give me the actual prompt because I have no intent to cheat. If you don't want to tell me, please may you send a link that I can use to look at some examples of TJ prompts?
Thanks,

Advocating buying college essays and papers is sometimes necessary. With their busy work schedules and already intensive work, college students cannot be expected to work on every single essay from scratch and have a unique paper, with a hundred percent uniqueness.Visit us:-https://samuraipaper.com/buy-college-essay/

All this stupid messing around with papers is really very boring and stupid. I've never been able to do this because it's really very stupid. Fortunately, I was able to find people who understand this well and can write my essay. I can now rely entirely on them in this matter and they know well how to write a particular text. They always do everything very clearly and on time and this is really great. And I recommend them to you

But then my friend recommended me to great guys who know how to do it well for the money. I was happy to contact them and they helped me a lot and I am very glad that I found them on essaywriter org. They are really good at writing various kinds of texts and articles. I am very happy that I can now use their services. This is very convenient and simple, and I advise you to do so.
