[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. One time I taught a truly special kid. Perfect recall. The only thing she got wrong all year was repeating a mistake I had made and later corrected. Kids like that really need TJ. [/quote]

Lame.

You had one kid like that one time. TJ isn’t there for one kid.

TJ lottery all the way![/quote]

You misunderstood. If each high school got two slots to nominate (which I believe is the plan) , it ensures that the profoundly gifted kids get through. They really need it.[/quote]

I think those “profoundly gifted” spots will be passed out to someone who’s Mommy or Daddy is on the middle school PTA. 
Not the kid who’s actually profoundly gifted. 
I have a kid who is and is thriving at TJ. All kids needed time to grow up while taking classes that challenged each kid. Just because my kid has a very high IQ, doesn’t mean they don’t need to learn the life skills of struggling in a class on their level: how to study, not procrastinating, ect.
However, my kid isn’t a social butterfly and I didn’t volunteer for things that would have gotten me in front of the principal. 
I’m so glad kid got in under the old system. 
No we aren’t Asian. [/quote]
