[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do these expensive prep places help kids develop skills that are generally useful in life, or are they mostly learning how to perform well on a specific type of test?  If you're going to spend that much time and effort on an extracurricular, you should walk away with some skills beyond being good at the TJ test.

I don't know what's covered at Curie, and they may already be doing a lot of this.  I'd love to see the TJ admission metrics changed, because kids would be better off[b] learning higher level math, learning grammar and writing, learning computer programming, learning another language, or playing a musical instrument[/b] than they would be with spending so much time learning how to take a test.

Yes, the students in TJ actually do all of this too.  They are just multi-talented superior students. With metrics changed by TJ to include all of the above, we may be able to make TJ demographics to reach 80% Asian-American students. [/quote]
