[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I suspect that the Algebra in 8th grade requirement is two-fold. 1) Placate the NAACP by making it easier for smart Black kids who are found at ES a bit later and don't have the money for enrichment have a better chance of attending TJ. 2) Decrease the math acceleration rat race to remove pressure from some kids because everyone has noticed the increased mental health concerns of MS and HS kids. [/quote] The algebra requirement did not change between the admissions processes. Only previously it was very rare to be accepted with algebra 1 in 8th grade, and now it is not.[/quote]
