The judge said it.

Isn't that judge like 90?

Younger than RBG. But maybe too tall? Too short?

Teach and enrich your kids. Take them to all the prep places. Make them do aops and khan academy. I do it too. My point was it should not be a requisite for the county stem high school. It is not fair to kids who don’t have support at home. In most areas of life that’s tough titties—life isn’t fair. But when it comes to public school admission to a magnet program it should be fair—in that the content tested on the admissions test is actually taught to the kids *in* school, and that being accelerated because of outside enrichment isn’t favored.

Yeah. At face value, the TJ changes look like an attempt by racist, jealous White people to use URMs as a proxy in order to hold the premise of "racial equity" over the heads of immigrants as an exercise in supremacy. Obviously there's more nuance to it, and bringing up the numbers of URMs in TJ is, in and of itself, a good thing. But yeah, nobody gets any gold stars for this.

In fact there is so much more nuance to this that you are entirely full of crap. The reason that you want to blame whitey about this is that this issue is causing a huge schism in the Democratic coalition. Of course, you bringing whitey into this will only add to my entertainment value to all this. However, liberal whites are so guilt-ridden and generally addled, the only result may be a future shortage of boxed Chardonnay caused by trying to medicate this woeful conundrum rather than think.

Obviously, because whites were hardly the only ones pushing this. But of it benefits them, as it seems to slightly, they won't care. If Asians care, they are on their own with this fight.

Well said, cuts to the chase.

Test prep is a problem. But de facto quotas are worse.

Who said it isn't?

Does TJ announce how many students declined the acceptance?

Isn't (or wasn't) the test math + English + essays? I am sure the content is covered in middle school.

There's no ideal solution but clearly the old system was being abused and is broken so the changes are at least a small step in the right direction.

If that were true, then 30% of the students being admitted wouldn't be from the same prep center.

Is the content covered in middle school or not? Simple question. Because the claim being made is that the content is not taught to kids in school.
