pp speaking here. think I know the BC-Calculus all of you are speaking of. have heard from DC he is their school's mun club's strongest member (5 gavels i heard) vp last yr and on leadership this yr, national award in quizbowl, science bee national finalist, scioly regional state national awards, is a life scout, captain of quizbowl and sciencebowl teams at old school (led team to some place in regionals last year not sure), njhs, started some tutoring program, organized 2 mun conferences (3rd this summer DC said), gifted in music, strong social skills and writing skills, 3.97 gpa etc. heard some rumor he is selfstudying college level economics & politics. DC and I very surprised he got waitlisted. DC his close friend. |
Sounds too good to be true. Nobody get national awards on both quizbowl and Sioly in this year’s 8th grader. |
he got awards last year according to DC |
Including last year, still nobody got national award on both quizbowl and Sioly. |
confirmed with DC who just asked him, top 20 in quizbowl nationals individual last year top 20 in some anatomy stem showdown |
Now that's what we can call equity. level it all down. |
Good intentions leading to ruin or envy-driven spitefulness, we'll never know. |
seems like today's TJ doesn't deserve him. so be it. |
Oh, I thought about the top 10 team award. This child is in another school then. Sounds very strong. |
#veryfakenews |
I think I know who you are talking about and this child is only in 7th grade so he doesn't qualify to enter TJ. |
Not fake news, upto you to believe it or not |
DC in classes with him, he's in 8th only. |
Too many top students clustered in a few schools. |
It doesn't matter. The rich white "hispanic" guy from Spain can say he takes english as foreign language and get extra points. |
