[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it'll totally ruin the school. And by lowering admission standards, now you have a lot of kids of any race there who previously wouldn't have been admitted. What happens when they can't keep up with the rigor? Do the teachers have to dumb down the material? Do they drop out? My oldest is 4 so I have no skin in the game but I'd argue kids failing out of TJ would do more harm than any benefit received from a more diverse population.[/quote] I guess it's a matter of perspective whether it will "totally ruin the school." The school currently operates where mainly uber competitive kids get in and survive. I think it should be a school that fosters STEM kids who are high performing rather than only the ones who are top 1 percent. I view the change as an improvement. It won't be number 1 anymore, but that doesn't mean it will be ruined. [/quote]
