[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want it to be fair use a standardized tests that is more readily available, have every kid take it, have a cut off where you view anyone above the threshold as qualified and use a lottery of every kid who meets the standard to determine spots[/quote] I once had a student with near-perfect auditory recall. The only test questions she got wrong was one where I had misstated something, once. Her mom had it too, and could quote my BTSN presentation to me. She is, to this day, the smartest kid I’ve taught. It would be unjust to cut her out of TJ for some political reason. I lost track of her when I moved, but I would be shocked if she didn’t get in.[/quote] And that's a big part of why, in spite of my sincere desire to see TJ admissions reformed, I do not support a lottery that could potentially exclude the 100 or so kids in each class that truly, genuinely belong there.[/quote]
