[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Math 4 is harder than math 3. My daughter did not have enough time to review for her final exam because she had lots of projects and other   final exams and AP exams at her first TJ school year. Otherwise, she can get A grade easily.[/quote]

I don't think the point of the email was that math 4 is easy but that the new cohort of students significantly under-performed all previous classes of math 4 students.
My understanding is that the school has reduced standards even further and provided even more support to keep grades up.  
But you can only do so much for kids that don't have the foundational knowledge and training to drink out of a firehose.  It's like trying to tune a car while it's driving the indy 500. 
All this remediation they are trying really ought to be done at the K-8 level at the underrepresented schools.
A disproportionate number of the AAP kids in these schools are principal picks but a sizable number of them test into AAP pool.
Take the ones that test in and give them after school enrichment.  
Watch them catch up to their peers in Mclean within a few years.[/quote]
