[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Agree on essays, do not agree on recs. Teachers are able to lend perhaps the best insight into whether a student is a positive contributor to the academic environment above and beyond their pure skills and content knowledge - and TJ and other elite academic institutions are better places when populated with students who bring a growth mindset and a collaborative, rather than a competitive, academic attitude.[/quote] The problem, though, is that you can't eliminate racism and sexism from teacher recs. If AA, hispanic, and female students receive worse recommendations because the teachers don't perceive them as being good enough for TJ, then nothing will be solved. [/quote]
