[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are conflating two things

1. Old process is flawed

Hence, it seems the assumption seems to be

2. New process is good/better

I would agree the old process is flawed but new process is even more flawed. I do like the idea of some percentage of kids from each HS getting into TJ. That is a good decision. Dropping recommendation letters is the most damaging of all.

We need reform, but in a thoughtful way. Not like the rushed half baked job they did in the middle of a pandemic.

The new process is significantly better for the overall health of the community. It has massively reduced the incentive for participation in TJ-prep programs, and children who are denied admission are faring much better than they were previously because parents are blaming the new process instead of their children. The trauma that kids in my community would suffer in the old days was awful... the new process has saved many abusive parents from themselves in a way.[/quote]

You would indeed suffer 'trauma' only if you entered without the necessary preparation and qualifications - entitlement mentality.[/quote]

PP. I'm referring to the trauma suffered by students who were not selected by the old process. Imparted upon them by their parents. But go ahead and go off about something you don't understand.[/quote]
