[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd ask his current math teacher whether they think your child would struggle with the TJ math. TJ math is pretty intense, and it could be quite challenging for a kid who isn't particularly strong at math. [b]If he's only going to complete Calculus in 12th grade, he might struggle to get admitted for Comp Sci or engineering in college[/b]. Both majors tend to have very competitive admissions, and he'll look weak compared to other kids graduating from TJ.[/quote] This is an absolutely ridiculous claim.[/quote] Assuming the comment means "good, selective college", it would be ridiculous at most high schools where calculus in 12th would be considered the most rigorous option, but at TJ it's nowhere close. Selective colleges practicing holistic admissions will compare applicants within the context of their school, which works against students at top schools like TJ[/quote]
