[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a former TJ teacher. I was a bit shocked and disappointed to hear about the proposed change. I specifically wanted to work at TJ because I love working with gifted kids, which is what I thought TJ was all about,  but maybe I just assumed that (?). Not to say the kids selected through the lottery won't be gifted, but it will be a mixed bag for sure, which will require more differentiation and probably less of an opportunity to go as in depth as I loved to do with my students. I do hope the powers that be at least figure out a way to identify the profoundly gifted kids who are interested in STEM, as I feel they would be the real losers in this plan.[/quote]

Do you think teachers will leave to pursue other endeavors?[/quote]

Teachers will wait to see what happens. TJ is a great gig for a teacher. So they'll see what the new class looks like - chances are, it won't look too much different except for there'll be a few more kids in Geometry - and they'll probably hang in there.[/quote]
