[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no doubt TJ Admissions need to be reset and diversity issues addressed ASAP.  But what was disappointing was the callous response from Dr Braband to the question of the lottery potentially excluding truly deserving students.  His response was essentially that everyone thinks their own kid is truly gifted and deserving of admission.  And not getting into TJ is “not the end of the world”.  Well if that is the case then what is the brouhaha all about?  And there are truly gifted kids (not necessarily mine) that will be left out.  It was sad to see an educator endorsing collateral damage.  The end should never justify the means especially when the platform is one of fairness and equity.  I was hoping they would consider some avenues for the truly gifted but the insouciance of the Superintendent on the issue was telling[/quote]

They just want to pander to blacks and screw over Asians. [/quote]

+1. As an alumna from the early 00s, I find it weird that all the documents only talk about the diversity problem going back a decade. People have been griping about diversity at TJ for at least 20 years. What happened in the twenty-teens? Oh right, the white admissions tanked.

I really don't care all that much about how the admissions process works, honestly. But I do think it's absurd that the truly gifted might be denied a chance to go.[/quote]
