[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a shame they diluted the APEX program, which was designed to keep kids at WJ rather than heading off to Blair and RM.  It was test in, required a teacher recommendation, and now, just a 3.5 GPA (which due to grade inflation, is at least 75% if not more, of NB students).  They don't stay like they used to because it's no longer the best and the brightest, and not a true cohort.  They should bring back the test and the teacher recommendations [/quote]

Because it isn't really a program to leave or not leave. Once you finish cohorted English 9 and 10 it makes no difference. Kids just take what they want to take. There is no cohort, activites, cohesion, or anything.

Counterpoint: The APEX Reach changes were great. It opened the program to anyone willing and able to do the work rather than rely on unnecessary gatekeeping requirements. [/quote]

Agree. Who is leaving WJ? There are obee 3000 students![/quote]

I think they meant leaving the apex program.  A lot do leave the apex program.  [/quote][/quote]
