Its racist to state facts? |

They dont hire principals with backbone like Lodal anymore. Race based preferences have always been practiced until they got caught. But Lodal had a way of putting sense into the board members' heads before full blown disaster. Glad they heeded her advice, and ended race quota in 2002. |
C4TJ's discrimination suit was so bad that it got laughed out fo court by the RWNJ's on SCOTUS. |
No racial preference at all whatsoever...., until it gets exposed. Hopefully someone working there snitches and exposes the inside sham this time too. That drop from 9.4 to 3.5 percent is dramatic. Wonder how they explained it. |
Affirmative action was an understood and accepted part of admissions processes ... until it wasn't. How old are you? |
Old enough to have seen these racial deviltries over and over, even before you were born. Racial politics back then also hurt the very people it claimed to uplift, much like what you're seeing now with loading up the lower segment of TJ with innocent kids who cant handle 'the rigor and are forced to struggle and suffer with Cs, Ds, and Fs. |
Yes and no. Did the affirmative action of the 80s and 90s hurt the perception of some qualified Black people? Yes. Did the affirmative action of the 80s and 90s help many Black people? Yes. There was a reason that it was dismantled at the end of the 90s but let's be honest. The country was in an altogether better place then than afterwards. Maybe taking down affirmative action wasn't the right thing to do then. And maybe your incessant posts about the segments at TJ are misguided as well. |
They have a TJ prep course that if enrolled in 7th and 8th runs to 5k I think, but is cheaper if you don't do all of 8th grade. |
Like those poor kids who were so over prepped with test answers to appear gifted but also stalled once they got into TJ. It was a cruel joke. |
Why think? Call them and ask. Maybe too late for this year. Classes are full, but request to be put on waitlist |
We only signed up for a couple of years, so it cost us more than $20k, but it made all the difference for us under the old system. They had done a great job preparing DC for the entry exam. Having access to questions really helps. |
t seems like people are being tricked using Curie's name. Another person here made a $5k payment. Who are they paying and what for? Our child goes to Curie, and we switched them from Kumon because Curie charges less than Kumon or any other enrichment program we considered. Price was a factor for us, as we are a single-parent income family. Also, absolutely no one at Curie goes for TJ prep only; mostly it's for advanced math, science, and English. Specifically, for math they go until precalculus concepts in 8th grade itself, which is why we chose Curie. Not a good fit if child is not advanced. |
That 20k person is lying again. Signature 7 at Curie appears to be $5100 for three semesters. |
well it is not. it's cheaper than AoPs |
