[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ as it known now is for sure done, and good riddance! Next up: AAP admissions reform.

I don’t know why families thought they could cheat their way through a system meant for *actually* gifted students by starting test prep in elementary school (or earlier). News flash: if your child preps for a 2nd grade cognitive assessment, the score is invalid, and your child is not “exceptionally gifted”.[/quote]

Right.  Giftedness can only be found on street corners and in homes where parents take little interest in their children's education (but make sure they have nice shoes and a Play Station).  I'm so glad FCPS will have a new Chief Equity Officer who can spot these natural wonders. [/quote]

No, PP has a point.  If you have to prep all/most your life for something cerebral (not physical, different muscles = different use - though how one camp loves to rail on athletes = discriminatory, but I digress).  A[b]fter a certain point, you are using wrote memorization and that isn't "studying", that is "teaching to the test", which is not life like or realistic. [/b] Colleges don't want robots whose parents "program" them for Tj since grade school - that is INSANE. I wouldn't want to deal with those parents, either. [/quote]

How many engineers, doctors, attorneys, take their professional exams cold?

Its silly to say that it "is not life like or realistic" for professionals - particularly in STEM- do not study for years in their field to become certified experts.[/quote]
