For years, two administrators at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJ) have been withholding notifications of National Merit awards from the school’s families, most of them Asian, thus denying students the right to use those awards to boost their college-admission prospects and earn scholarships. This episode has emerged amid the school district’s new strategy of “equal outcomes for every student, without exception.” School administrators, for instance, have implemented an “equitable grading” policy that eliminates zeros, gives students a grade of 50 percent just for showing up, and assigns a cryptic code of “NTI” for assignments not turned in. It’s a race to the bottom.***
But TJ School officials had decided to withhold announcement of the award. Indeed, it turns out that the principal, Ann Bonitatibus, and the director of student services, Brandon Kosatka, have been withholding this information from families and the public for years, affecting the lives of at least 1,200 students over the principal’s tenure of five years. Recognition by National Merit opens the door to millions of dollars in college scholarships and 800 Special Scholarships from corporate sponsors.

The reason for inequality is inequality
Right, Asian students who worked their @$$e$ off to qualify to top colleges and these A-holes cost them. So, they cannot go to MIT because these liberal A-holes did this, and they wind up at Podunk University State College of Dumb and Dummer.
Hang them personally!
They want to claim "equity", start with their paycheck.

Exactly. When you throw in Loudon County, Northern VA has some screwed up (I’m being kind) public school administrators.
A “meritless society” is a “G-odless society” and destined for death, decay and destruction from both within and without.
Pinochet was right about commies

Or did they have try outs for the teams, with the best players playing, the middle players riding the bench and the worst cut from the team and invited to be equipment managers passing out towels?
Did they pass out letter jackets and end of season awards? Did they have big team pictures in the yearbook?
Yep- and in the name of ‘equity for all’, why do the administrators make more money than the lower level employees?
They should put their f-ing money where their low life mouths are and either reduce their pay or increase everyone else’s.

Truth. Two other classmates and I were in Gifted and Talented classes in 2nd and 3rd grade. We were put in a corner by ourselves, given books to read while the teachers spent their entire classes working with the remedial children. We had ZERO instruction and absolutely no interaction with any of the teachers. By mid 3rd grade, we were at the same academic level as the regular classmates. The three of us were reading at 9-10th grades and were far ahead of the other classmates in math and science before that.
Mission accomplished.
The “equity” the principal deserves is hard agricultural labor.
The only cure for the woke is the Mao version of a “cultural revolution”.
These days smart and motivated kids can go on the Internet and master any subject they wish—at their own pace.
Public school is a waste for smart kids.
It is babysitting for dumb kids.
She is an evil bitch BUT really these Asian families talk to each other. They should have gotten suspicious and contacted the people who run the National Merit awards. Their phone number is on the internet. They should sue this heinous principal. The school district must fire her!
