[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1.5% from each school does not make sense without a minimum and without acknowledging centers get more kids. Are they doing away with middle school centers too?[/quote]

It’s a minimum 1.5% from each middle school and that minimum means more kids from the middle schools with more 8th graders, which are usually AAP centers.  They don’t care if the top 1.5% from Poe might not be in the top 20% at Carson because they have decided broader geographic representation is more important. [/quote]

I give it by next year  for some people to be renting in the unrepresented middle school boundaries or leaving their AAP center for 8th grade at their base middle school if it gives a better shot at TJ. [/quote]

Why bother?  The quality of the student body will decline and it’s not like TJ will have the same reputation for excellence. [/quote]

And as a results, maybe stress will go down and the suicides will go down and the quality of life of these kids will go way up.

The current TJ product is not without massive issues.  Let's look at the glass half full and focus on what will will likely improve.  [/quote]

My kids love “the current TJ product.”  I am guessing you don’t have any there that’s why you believe the rumors about it.[/quote]

I'm an Alumni so I know what the experience is like, unlike you, who only listens to 3rd hand information from your children. They are likely too afraid to tell you the truth. Most of us alumni recognize a change needs to occur. It's current parents who do not. It's not even their kids.[/quote]

Why would kids be afraid to tell their parents the truth? Nonsensical. That's probably the most honest source of information a parent can get![/quote]

TJ haters always respond to parents whose kids love TJ this way. No, they’re not lying to me— we never encouraged them  to go there and they didn’t prep for it — they tell me and I see how happy and energized they are from the cool courses and motivated peers.  [/quote]
