[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curie kids told me there was no difference in their exam performance had they not been to curie. Anyone sending their kids to curie thinking otherwise is wasting their money. The current TJ format is pretty useless where an essay decides if the kids are smart. Not every kid knows all the science topic on earth unless they are generic. They criteria is messed up hence the high number of dropouts. Getting into TJ is one milestone but sailing thru all the stress is a completely different ballgame.[/quote]

About 170 kids taking Geometry at TJ this year. Yikes.[/quote]

It's actually about 140, but what's wrong with that? It's a lot lower than the number that took Geometry 10-15 years ago, when the school was in much better shape from a mental health perspective....[/quote]

They don't belong at ultra advanced and rigorous STEM magnet school.[/quote]

Why not? Perhaps they have an exceptional aptitude for science or coding or any number of other things.

There are still 400 kids in the class who are advanced beyond Geometry and there will be no end of advanced opportunities for all of the students in those areas.[/quote]
