[quote=Anonymous]Favoring kids with more math acceleration for TJ just creates an academic enrichment arms race. I know it’s hard for some posters to realize but this dynamic isn’t good for anyone. It’s not good for the wealthy or Asian kids to be pushed so hard. And it’s not good for the URMs that are completely shut out from the competition. And you’re thinking “but my kid actually wants to spend 10 extra hours a week studying math”. Fine. But please consider how your kid being rewarded fir that in TJ admissions causes three other families to make their kid who doesn’t do the same. Bottom line. TJ admissions should not be a competition. If a middle schooler is interested and her grades and test scores meet a certain requirement she should be just as qualified for admission as the so-called “wonder kids” in pre calculus and winning competitions.
