The teachers said that the average score for their final exam for TJ Math 4 — equivalent to trigonometry — was “in the low 70s with a substantial minority scoring below 50%,” calling the results “the lowest scores we’ve ever seen,” even amid a “lowering of standards” at the school for the course.

"The students in the spring semester course of Math 4, which the email is about, [b]include Class of 2024 students, the last class admitted through the merit-based admissions tests[/b] that the school board eliminated in December 2020, and students from the Class of 2025, admitted through the new race-based admissions process."

Asra pushing BS, as usual.

Sure focus on the messenger, to distract from the message.  Asra Nomani, author's intro says she is an asian american TJ parent.  Racists like you target anyone asian american.

The TJ Math teacher is stating that standards have been lowered:

"The math teachers noted that the final exam was “substantially easier” than final exams given to previous classes. The teachers said the students had “unprecedented supports provided to you this semester, including extra practice quizzes, bonus quizzes, practice worksheets, and a practice final exam, all things that were not given to previous students.”

The teachers continued:

We expected to see scores rise, not drop, with our lowering of standards."

The math test got eliminated from admissions. They don't know the middle-school readiness of the kids being admitted, and TJ Math teachers are left to deal with the problem. [/quote]

More likely, this is just a symptom of the pandemic where all test scores dropped. I really wish they'd stop pushing their false narrative. TJ is stronger than ever, especially after they eliminated the rampant cheating and test buying with the new selection process.[/quote]
 
Blame it on the pandemic forever. 
Use the pandemic, to get rid of the admission test, to perform racial balancing. 
Use the pandemic, to admit unassessed students to fit a diversity pie chart
When under-prepared students understandably cant perform, blame it on what else, but the Pandemic! [/quote]

TJ stayed virtual longer than any other Nova high school.  The math teachers are complaining about the students in the last class with the old admissions - also the ones most affected by virtual school at TJ.

You can pretend that it's over and students just need to get over it.  If that's what you need to do.[/quote]
