[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teacher recs were only for the students who passed the initial TJ test. Teacher recs are used in college admissions- why not use them for TJ? The test was valuable (prepped or not) to show the ability to hack it in TJ math and the recs were valuable in describing work habits and interest in deep thinking. [/quote] There is a concern about racial and cultural bias. But frankly any additional data would be an improvement over what we have now. Reducing the false positives in the admission pool is probably the top priority. We don't need the best of the best of the best... But we do need to avoid the kids that are academic duds.[/quote]
