[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So 75ish less Asian students are getting in each year now? How did the rest of the population feel about having such a large majority before? I remember reading that they were very uncomfortable. Maybe they should have changed the mission of TJ to diversity it better rather than the application.[/quote]
Rest of the the population celebrated the Asian majority at TJ since they reinforced TJ's standing.  It is the equity politicians that went about tinkering with TJ.  The 75 Asian students that are denied their TJ spots, can easily handle the base school rigor.  The same cant be said of the 75 replacement Algebra 1 students that are suffering at TJ with remedial math and playing constant catch-up.  [/quote]

The average number of Asian students per admitted class for the 10 years prior to the change was 330. The average since the change was 321.

So, on average, there are 9 fewer Asian kids per class after the change.[/quote]

By dropping important information from the test and teachers’ recommendation, that 321 is way weaker than that 330 in the old system [/quote]
