[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ academics seem to have gotten harder again over the past year with the addition of more APs. Why are things going back to the high stress years of prepandemic?[/quote] The rigor was already there. They mostly took honors classes that were being taught at the AP level or harder and turned them into AP classes. They are also enforcing the minimum GPA requirement and sending kids with low GPAs back to their base school and picking up a lot of froshmores through the froshmore admission process. The low stress environment may have had less to do with the pandemic than with the previous principal's desire to reduce the differentiation between the kids admitted under the new admissions process. A lot of those kids were grossly underprepared for TJ.[/quote]
