[quote=Anonymous]To help clear up the essay issue (btw, my DD - white, GT Center - did get in to TJ, so I've got no agenda or sour grapes).. The two essays the students take on entrance exam day are unique, in that one has a MORAL component and the other one TJ tells the kids they will grade looking at technique, grammar, etc. From what I hear from teachers and our GT counselor, TJ takes the MORAL essay very seriously. Even though they say there's no right answer, the feeling among teachers is that if a student gives off the wrong vibe in that essay, it doesn't matter if it is written like a Harvard-ready thesis paper, the kid will get a low score. This year the question was: you are a scientist who worked on a team discovering a cure for cancer, and you discover the cure while you are alone in the lab. Do you take the credit by yourself or do you tell your team and take the credit as a team. [/quote]
