[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how to graduate from TJ without taking calculus?  Is there an alternative?[/quote]
graduating from base high school, yes. from TJ, no.  It doesnt appear there is an alternative. [b]Should there be one? sure[/b]. Data Science comes to mind.  [/quote]

Why? TJ's purpose has always been to prepare kids for the sciences or a tech-related career. For all that you need calculus in college. Should you? Maybe not (see: Temple Grandin on this), but you do.[/quote]
Calculus is so hard, not everyone is ready to learn in high school. [/quote]

Then don't apply to TJ where you are required to take and pass Calculus. Go to your base school where you don't have to take Calculus. TJ is a STEM school that is special because it has classes that require higher level math to take. If you don't want to take the math to participate in those classes, then go to your base school.

You have to wonder why you would want to go to TJ is you're not at least pretty good at math.[/quote]
