[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gawd some people's comments are so ignorant and uncaring.  For some people (yes, that includes Asian and Eastern European immigrants), advanced/gifted/whatever you want to call them programs which judge fairly by merit [i]are[/i] their refuge from the discrimination they'd otherwise be facing.  It's also a refuge for the kids who have an IQ which is multiple standard deviations above the norm and who, as a result, get consistently misunderstood by society at large.  I can't emphasize enough how unacceptable it is for people to even think that "who cares?" applies to this situation.[/quote]

It’s a refuge for kids who are taught to game those tests too[/quote]

Yes they game the test because the test is easy and a low bar filter. If you can't game the test in style by studying minimally for it, you don't belong in TJ. But once you get to TJ those type of tests mean nothing. You get to play with stuff that most kids don't see, even in college.[/quote]

Such a stupid response. Gaming the test is all the tiger mom/dads excel at and teach their kids ! Glad the admission process is being changed. The amount of prepping that starts from Grade 1, the lobbying with teachers, the child being in every possible activity and class (music, art, dance, soccer, chess, school clubs) - its crazy ! lets kids be tiger parents. You being able to spend 1000s of dollars to prep your child and make him "excel" in every way does not make your child the brightest. Some of the AAP parent questionnaires are hilarious - one would think the child is gods gift to mankind and a miracle - excellent in every thing on earth ![/quote]

Don’t Burn Your House to Smoke out a Rat !!. Find out better solution without compromising TJ Quality.
