[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting rid of RS1 is a great loss. Nobody in math department thinks it is a good idea. But principal did not ask for input. It might be just for the ratings - getting everyone into AP Precalc increases the number of AP courses taken per student. Ratings. Why would TJ student need AP Precalc. No STEM program in any college would count it for credit. Similar changes in Science. Wonderful  unique Geosystems gone to be replaced by standard AP Environmental Science. Like in any base school. These are not good changes. [/quote]

My freshmen kid said RS1 is necessary but doesn’t need to be one semester long.[/quote]

I know some counselors aren't fond of RS1, so it’s likely been a controversial class for a while. My freshman also feels it doesn’t need to last a full semester. TJ students typically have a rigorous course load but end up with a lower GPA because some classes (are AP level or above) don’t offer the typical AP credit.  I am glad that the principal is addressing that.[/quote]
