[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the of converting TJ to 10th-12th and being able to serve 33% more students through the program on the face of it, but do wonder if there are strong arguments against this that aren’t on my radar. I’d consider any argument about needing to form community or the minor disruption of a student spending 1 year at base HS to be weak arguments, but there may be stronger ones I’m overlooking. Anyone have we’ll-reasoned arguments against this type of change?[/quote] 1) You’d pretty much destroy every non-STEM extracurricular at the school - which are a significant part of the school’s culture 2) You’d eliminate a crucial adjustment year for kids to figure out how to navigate the rigor of TJ. 3) No more IBET, which, in addition to the design and tech class that introduces many students (however easily) to principles of engineering also gives them a core group of students to build networks around.
