[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]sad, race to the bottom; however, this area always votes for this equity crap, so no surprise. [/quote]

And by bottom you mean going from 100th percentile to 99.95th percentile in national rankings. There are over 25,000 public high schools in America. They are 14th based on the arbitrary criteria of one random magazine, and you think that's the bottom?  [b]These are still the best and brightest kids in the entire region, [/b]and if a kid got on who isn't a complete genius in math, but he/she is great at math and can actually do something socially - that's a win in my book.

Past tense. No longer. That’s why people are objecting to the new admissions policies. Schools have guaranteed spots for kids, even if those kids taking those spots are by far not the brightest kids in the region. The admissions testing was dumbed down. The minimum math standard was dumbed down. The principal is posting goals about remediation work. Do you seriously think this still means only the brightest attend TJ?

I know! It's horrible how kids from average schools are now taking spots from kids who have spent years prepping at Curie for this once in a lifetime opportunity. It's also cost parents tens of thousands in prep costs and there's no guarantee that will payoff these days.[/quote]
We have been hearing about Curie a lot, and are inclined towards enrolling DC there. Can you elaborate in detail about the Curie costing parents tens of thousands in prep costs? We are not interested in TJ, just math and science enrichment. [/quote]
