[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s silly to spring on these kids that they can’t walk at the last minute.

However, it’s deeply troubling that these kids can’t pass calculus. And shocking that they are taking Calc in 12th grade at TJ. The admissions changes really impacted the school that my kids graduated from just a few years ago. [/quote]

Mukai is fixing it as best he can by enforcing the GPA requirement and sending a lot of kids back to their schools after freshman year and recruiting large froshmore classes.[/quote]

That's not likely to go well. I can't imagine a sophomore being flung into the rigor of TJ.

Besides the fact that the actual issue at TJ is rampant cheating. That's the only way to succeed in classes like math where teachers have openly told me they don't teach the class material. Kids are expected to teach themselves and each other. [/quote]

And yet the Froshmores are doing better on average than the rest of the class.  By a noticeable margin.[/quote]

The Froshmore admissions process is based purely on academic qualifications, as all TJ admissions decisions should be.

The Froshmores are unquestionably a successful cohort within TJ.

Conversely, the post 2021 regular admission procedures are heavily tainted by DEI, and they veer away from academic qualifications.

These are simply facts.

As to the kids not permitted to walk, or who will not receive full TJ diplomas, we do not know what overlap there might be here, because much of the necessary data is either confidential or not released by the school.  These are also facts. [/quote]
