[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder what will happen the first year. If teachers teach at the same level with the same harsh grading methods, and kids don't have the same level of support at home, it's going to be a mess.[/quote]

C'mon, you know what is going to happen.

At first, teachers will largely maintain the same curriculum because of inertia and because they have inherent respect for their students.

Then, data will be gathered that it is primarily the unprepared students who cannot handle the work.  These students will also turn out to be predominantly URMs.  They will be dropping out of TJ to base schools with GPA's that will make them ineligible for competitive college admissions.

Then the curriculum that made TJ what it is will be thrown out, following throwing out the students that made TJ what it is.  I give it 2-3 years.

Done.  ;-)[/quote]

100% agree.  The School Board has ruined TJ for "diversity".[/quote]

There is no more TJ.  It was effectively closed this week.[/quote]

The cutthroat cheating TJ?  Good riddance.  Now it can be an excellent STEM school for excellent students.  [/quote]
