[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Screening only for math ability in 9th grade is actually a pretty poor way to select students to an elite STEM program. [/quote] Maybe that's why no one has suggested that TJ do so. Math ability as demonstrated in 9th grade shouldn't and never has counted for everything. It should, however, count for something. Kids who are taking Algebra in 8th may have some other amazing STEM talent to contribute to the school. I would imagine that would be covered in the essays, tests, extracurricular achievements, and teacher recommendations, if they still had a comprehensive application. It's also possible that the kid taking Algebra in 8th is good enough to get As in school, but not particularly talented in any way. [/quote]
