Your post implies that more kids have dropped out and it is because of the new admissions, which might be the case. There are kids who never would have thought about TJ that had a chance to try TJ. Some more might drop out because it is a new school and a new type of program for them. Some of those kids are going to stay and find their groove at TJ. That learning process is a part of education. Guess what, there are kids who apply to all sorts of college that go and drop out, even the Ivies.

How about we stop demonizing 12 and 13 year olds and just let them be kids and figure out what school works best for them?[/quote]

Not sure why some people think that questioning the effectiveness of a brand new, controversial admissions system has anything to do with demonizing kids.[/quote]

Because you are obsessed with a school and so determined to show that only your way of admitting people leads to success that you are ignoring that the people that you are complaining about being admitted are kids. Because your view doesn't see the opportunities being granted to kids who had no clue that they had this path and see anything other then admittance to a top engineering school by this entire class as a failure. Because you see the kids who were accepted from non-traditional schools for TJ as having taken the spots of kids from schools like Carson and seem to be interested in finding any measure that shows that those kids are lesser.

It is gross. [/quote]
