[quote=Anonymous][quote]I just have problems with a public magnet school letting in students who aren't qualified when plenty of others are.[/quote] The problem is that this area has many, many kids who are qualified for TJ, more than there are spaces available. Unfortunately, some very qualified kids will not be accepted simply because there is not enough space for every qualified applicant. There is probably not much difference between the last accepted student on the list and the next dozen or so applicants, but a line has to be drawn somewhere. It happens with college admissions also. There are just far more qualified applicants for, say, Harvard, than there spaces in the freshman class. Fortunately, we live in an area that has many excellent public schools where a bright student can get a rigorous education by choosing courses wisely. I know lots of kids in regular high schools around here that work just as hard as kids at TJ. [/quote]
