[quote=Anonymous]There is a good chance that the best student in every race will not make it to TJ with the proposed merit lottery system. It would be great injustice to the best student.

For example, if two students applied for admission with one has a 3.52 GPA with Algebra 1 and the second student with 3.95 GPA with Algebra 1.

What would happen if the second student was not picked in the lottery and the second student is from African American race? Great injustice to the second student and the lottery system fails to address the diversity issue.

[b]My suggestion is
[/b]

[i]How about having different admission tests per region and restricting each region with 70 students? [/i]AAP Students need to have GPA 3.6 and non-AAP students GPA 3.6 with application fee $350 (free for free or reduced school meal). So that the best students will make it to TJ while improving diversity per region. Also, add TJ boot camps and TJ Prep club every week in all the Middle schools. [i]Middle school teachers/coaches should encourage the students who attends TJ boot camps and TJ Prep club by giving great recommendations to TJ admissions.[/i] If the student attend TJ Prep clubs for 2 years in middle school, the student has real passion for TJ/STEM. The application fee may be utilized for improving the base school’s faculty.
