[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought part of the point of TJ is to bring together very bright students who are interested in math and science fields to create an atmosphere of learning and inquiry. How is that atmosphere affected if there are many students in need of tutoring? I would have thought tutoring would be rarely needed by students selected by such a rigorous process. [/quote] Well the 15 yo neighbor we carpool with has the same Biology textbook as my college age daughter in premed. [/quote] That's because he's taking AP Biology. AP classes use college textbooks. But there are lots of high school kids who take AP and post-AP classes, do extremely well, and don't need a tutor. So it seems like the resources of the school are not being put to good use if it has to accomodate kids who have to make tons of extra effort to keep up. Conversely, those kids would be better served in an environment that isn't over-accelerated.[/quote]
