[quote=Anonymous]^^Yes, thought of the weighted GPA thing after I posted. Some A's are worth more than others. As for remedial math: I do know that it was started a couple of years ago because there was a perceived need for it -- ie., a third of freshman were not doing as well math has they had been in the past. Prior to that TJ teachers didn't see so many kids who struggled with TJ math. So something changed and I doubt it was a sudden decline in teaching in middle school. Most kids who are good at math just get it, so even if their geometry teacher wasn't Vern Williams, chances are they'd catch on quickly enough to not need remediation. Perhaps this is the explanation TJ is using to let in kids incapable of the work. But the fact remains that in a STEM magnet, remedial anything should be unnecessary when you have hundreds of kids being turned away each year who could actually do the work from day 1. [/quote]
