[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So your point is it's just coincidence that the kids that go to TJ happen to mostly come from the GT Center schools [i]even though[/i] those kids are not in the GT Center at those schools?  Baloney.  If you're going to make outrageous statements, kindly back them up with facts and figures...

My experience at Longfellow is that a decent number of the Longfellow students are NOT in the AAP.   However, all the ones I know who were not in AAP and were admitted to TJ took the higher level math (Algebra in 7 and Geometry in 8).  I would imagine that this is true for other schools as well.   IME, the students I thought would get in, got in regardless of being Honors or AAP.[/quote][/quote]

No, my point was that not all of the students that get in from Longfellow are in AAP.  I thought that the post to which I was replying implied that.  My point is also that there are plenty of smart capable students that are not in AAP.  AAP is not the end all and be all.  It works well for some students.  It works okay for others, and it doesn't work for a few others.  Longfellow has a very high level of student achievement no matter how you slice it.  It should, many (if not most) of the students have the advantages that children should get.

I am not sure why you are so defensive.[/quote]
