[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole TJ thing became too much political and personal pride for some parents. Everyone wants representation for their respective groups. In my opinion, TJ should be dismantled and just offer some of the exclusive courses at base schools and let any kid choose these courses based on some pre-reqs and teacher recommendations. No more in-fighting and whoever is qualified and interested enough to take these courses can take them. This will serve better for everyone involved. [/quote]

Given that TJ has certain equipment that can't easily be replicated at 24 other high schools, the twist would be to turn TJ into a full-time Academy site.

No student would attend TJ full-time; TJ would have less overhead because it wouldn't have to replicate the typical administrative staff or offer extra-curricular programs; TJ would only offer courses available only at TJ; and enrollment would be based purely on demand and satisfying any course pre-requisites, with a lottery for a particular course only if necessary to limit enrollment in a particular class.

That would be so much better than the current, incredibly contentious model.  [/quote]
