I like this approach and I think folks on this board could could come together and solve everything instead of relying on an inept school board. I don't care what "side" you are on they aren't the brightest. |
True test will be the PSAT next Fall. And College admits eventually if you want to wait till then. Of course the narrative then will be that TJ is not a means for better college outcomes, it is a pathway to appreciation of STEM (like an art history course you would do in college) |
I predict college outcomes will improve because high performing URMs will do extremely well. |
The fallacy is that the PSAT results are meaningful. The PSAT is a just practice test. Many TJ kids have mastered this sort of test of basic algebra/trig when they prepared for TJ. Studying for years for a math test improves your score. Knowing test taking strategies improves your score. |
I like elecitng people to do this for us. Like our school board. I know it's popular to bash them but I think hey're doing. a great job. |
And the hard core Republicans think this is the best Supreme Court ever. Extreme positions may benefit some in the short term but will elicit a sharp response. And the pendulum will swing again. |
They’ve made some dumb mistakes but generally they aren’t terrible. The people who shriek about them 24x7 are probably the same nutters who think Biden is “worst POTUS ever”. |
Great job?!?!?!? seriously, I thought we were getting somewhere..... |
Yes. Studying for a years for a math test does improve your score!! |
At least they worked hard to achieve their goals. If they do the same thing when they grow up, they will also be successful in their career. It's better than those students/parents who want the credits but never want to pay the efforts. |
I am desperately thinking about how to use flowery progressive language to prove that hard work is racist. After all, it should just be enough that I am white. |
That seems like a big political miscalculation. You can be anti-Trump, and either like or be meh about Biden, and still want this School Board to get a Chesa Boudin-style vote of no confidence next year. |
“Political miscalculation”? The nutters all sound alike. Hysteria. Irrational. |
+1 Great article on the sfo/la primaries yesterday and the backlash against Progressives. It also highlights how Ds took Asian Americans for granted and paid for it. This is what we will see in NoVa as well https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/06/chesa-boudin-recall-is-the-beginning-of-a-backlash.html |
