[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. Also, thanks! I was very surprised at the dropping of the teacher recommendations. I did see an earlier comment that some feeder school teachers had become very adept at writing the recommendations compared to other MS, so maybe that was the issue.

I was wondering if teachers/principals should be tasked with identifying the top X number of kids in their middle school to be put into the lottery. TJ could provide instruction to the MS not used to lots of kids applying on what qualities they should be looking for. [/quote]

9:56 here.  I remember hearing reports at one point that at a certain middle school the principal was reviewing the teacher recommendations and basically making sure they were all glowing.  I don't know if/how that was resolved.  I thought of having teachers/principals at middle schools rank/list the very top students who absolutely should get into TJ, and while I think they would do a pretty good job of identifying the top students, it also seems like a terrible position to put those people in.  Maybe a little better if it's the principal rather than teachers, but still problematic.[/quote]
