[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone attending TJ who is 'slow' in math is only interested in attending for the sake of the TJ name/prestige and not for the unique courses and other opportunities NOT offered at other high schools. Don't try to justify by saying oh math is not a race, take it easy and go at your pace blah blah blah. So sick of prestige seekers.[/quote] You're jumping to conclusions about things for which there's been zero evidence or facts presented. I would assume the student is highly gifted despite lacking the opportunities that others have had. Otherwise they would not have been selected for TJ.[/quote] Why are you assuming that OP's kid is attending a lower SES school or is economically disadvantaged? OP gave no indication of their SES or the SES of the school the kid is attending. High SES kids at Longfellow who didn't qualify for Algebra in 7th are also getting admitted to TJ. [/quote]
