[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- for people who don't have a child in TJ Math 4 right now, those of us who do aren't interested in your thoughts on the matter so please refrain from commenting.  And please stop with the lecturing about how we should let our kids advocate for themselves, how we shouldn't push our kids, how they can't always get As, how we all need to relax . . . I, for one, am sick of hearing that crap.  I have multiple kids at TJ, so I don't need lecturing on how it works.  The issue with TJ Math 4 right now is very clear:  the tests and quizzes are too long and too hard.  Case in point:  the quiz they took yesterday had a question on it that was on something that hadn't been taught or covered and it was 50% of the points on the quiz.  I'm all for putting a question or two on a test that challenges kids to go beyond the material, but to have something like that on a quiz and have it be worth so much of the grade --- something is seriously wrong.  I won't sit by and let my child get a crappy grade in the class because of that kind of stuff.  Period.[/quote]

Thank you OP.   I have a math 4 kid too and am also tired of hearing from people who have no idea WTF TJ is or does. They can start another “Why TJ sucks” thread. This one is about a problem with a specific class. Not Asians or cheating or Langly or APs or sit back and relax, your kid will handle it.   My kid has tried, and has still not even seen the test.  I would be a lot more relaxed if someone at TJ — the math department, the principal— someone— noticed there was a problem and said— hey, this was a problem. This is what we are doing so future assessments are more fair. This is what we are doing to ensure the Math 4 grade distribution will be in line with past years.  But no one is saying anything, and one wonders if the math department chair or the principal even know. [/quote]

I have a math 4 kid too. He has been working for at least 3 hours+ each day of the past weekend doing the problems as he is very much upset with his current grade. He is losing confidence in math because of the unit test, quizzes etc. Why can't the math department come out and mail on how the kids can prepare better? So it is only this year's math 4 distribution different than previous years?

sounds like some people need to drop out of TJ this is what pushing your kids gets you morons.  If they can't handle it they should drop out.  TJ graduate[/quote]
