[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Results were a little better this year at out school.  They accepted two of the top math students, but the top few students were waitlisted.  Last year the top students were all waitlisted or rejected.[/quote]

For both admitted and non-admitted students, the new admissions regime shows them that hard work and good performance will not be rewarded and unfairness/discrimination in the system cannot be challenged. Families can create a similar or better learning environment for their children than TJ. It's harder to gain back their trust in the education system as a whole. Or maybe, they shouldn't.[/quote]

So much angst!  Hard work and good performance are always rewarded.  All systems are unfair somehow, the admissions process is not discriminatory.

Under the old admissions process and the new one, there are more exceptional, excellent, and well qualified candidates than spots.  So some will not be admitted.  It is what it is.  Should your trust be broken?  Or should you be realistic and accepting?[/quote]

Is that why the freshmen attrition rate has increased 10 folds in the new system? Is that why TJ now has to run Algebra review sessions? There are plenty other ways to do charities than this.[/quote]
