[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is a freshman at TJ. Classmate is in BC calculus. This kind of kid needs a school like TJ and will take advantage of the many advanced courses the school has to offer.

Teachers are good and bad everywhere. I have heard that a few really good and well thought of TJ teachers have left / are leaving. I think some of it has to do with the admissions changes and admin perhaps encouraging teachers to dumb down the classes, be more lenient in grading to accommodate some of these students who maybe would be best served by attending their base school.

Well, you'll be glad to know that's not true, and it's just propaganda that's sewn by those who wanted a gameable admissions process. Classes haven't been dumbed down. The cohort at TJ is stronger than ever.[/quote]

Agree. Except, cohort at TJ is not as strong as in the past. I have a child at TJ.[/quote]
By their own definition of the students that the admissions process favored, they are not as strong. The difference is that these kids are not as strong through no fault of their own. I do enjoy the cognitive dissonance surrounding the admits though.

It's OK to admit that this class isnt as academically strong as previous classes because that wasnt the singular point of these new admission criteria. I wonder why supporters of this new system wont accept the results of their initiative for what they are. [/quote]
