[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the issue.  The new spots by middle school model has kids at tj who wouldn't have even been semifinalists. [/quote]

Because the old system was overwhelming skewed toward people who paid for prep so many weren't even given a fair shot at it.[/quote]

You keep saying this and you are flat out wrong.  A kid taking Algebra in 8th has no business being at TJ a supposed advanced STEM school  [/quote]

Completely false. The majority of the students who have graduated from TJ in its history were taking Algebra in 8th grade. It has only been fairly recently - say, within the last dozen years or so - that the majority of incoming students in each class at were advanced beyond Algebra in 8th grade.[/quote]

My kid graduated from TJ 7 years ago and even back then there was only 1 class for Geometry class and even fewer taking algebra I about handful. It was shameful to be taking Geometry class at TJ as a freshmen. [/quote]

Sounds right. [/quote]
