[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is that all in one class? 15% of the kids went to schools on that list. At most schools it's maybe 2% which means that a TJHSST student is 7 times as likely to matriculate to one of those schools. [/quote] Of course, that is to be expected of a magnet school. I want to see the household income of the 15% from TJ and 2% from base schools. [b]If those 15% of TJ students are considerably poorer than the base school students, then I could be convinced that TJ teachers are truly working miracles[/b] by effectively teaching the hardest subgroup of students.[/quote] You are not making any sense. Top kids (intelligent, hardworking or both) who are interested in going to TJ do so (regardless of their family's income level). Their effort/smarts is what's responsible for their success. Teachers are like shepherds. They are not responsible for the kids getting into good colleges. [/quote]
