[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s always the option to: 1) Not assume that all of the kids who you don’t think belong are getting Bs and Cs; [b]2) Let their families be concerned with what’s best for them and not presume that they have the same priorities that you do.[/b] Novel idea, I know.[/quote] 2 is great, as long as they're being given an accurate picture and making their choices accordingly. If a kid knows that TJ will be very challenging and a huge grind that results in a lot of Bs and Cs, but still wants to do it, more power to them. If the admitted kids are given the impression that they're highly qualified for TJ and will thrive there when it likely will be a very challenging grind, that's a problem. [/quote] This. And sure they can always go back to their base school but there is an emotional toll charged when a student has to do that. And they frequently go back with a semester or year's worth of mediocre or bad grades.[/quote]
