	UPDATE: After Policy Change, Thomas Jefferson High Makes Small Gains in Student Diversity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		School Board member Brad Center (Lee) said the board expected that the changes at Thomas Jefferson, a highly respected magnet school that attracts the brightest teenagers in Northern Virginia, would be gradual.
		The school system examined the impact of the policy, which was approved in September 2004, as part of a study that included a survey of high-achieving minority students and a survey of teachers at the school.
		A little more than 80 percent said they didn't consider the magnet school because they didn't want to leave their friends, and 37 percent said they were worried there were not enough people who shared their ethnicity or race at the school.

	washingtonpost.com: Science and Success at Thomas Jefferson High
		My daughter was smart but not greatly interested in science and tech; she went to Thomas Jefferson anyway because we knew she would get a world-class education.
		Jay Mathews's Feb. 6 article did not surprise me. My fourth-grade daughter attends a gifted-and-talented center in Fairfax County, and based on the paltry science curriculum to which she is exposed, she'll blossom into a budding research scientist in high school only if divine intervention occurs.
		The curriculum at the gifted-and-talented center is supposed to be challenging and use higher-level thinking skills, but its elementary science curriculum is the same as that of the general curriculum in terms of materials used.
