[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, the TJ change was not prompted by outside prep companies. The "prep" is a red herring by a few "Karens" whose kids are lazy and lack talents to compete. They spent way more on travel sports prep.

The school board meetings' notes are public information. The board and Brabrand decided to implement a change prompted by very low admission numbers for URMs and the tragedy of George Floyd.

The "prep" issue is separate and should be addressed as such. The remedy is easy - shutting down all the prep companies or FCS offering similar prep for free to URMs.[/quote]

On what legal basis would it be "easy" to shut down a prep company?  The prep companies are retooling to help kids get into TJ under the revised criteria.  And they are in it for the long haul, unlike the School Board members who just force changes for a short-lived, feel-good moment or two.

[b]The only thing that puts the prep companies out of business is reduced demand for their services.[/b]  [/quote]

Honestly, if the result of the admissions changes is a reduction in the level of prestige that TJ enjoys while the educational product remains superior, all of this will have been worth it. Too many families seeking TJ for the prestige rather than the product.[/quote]
