[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sure if the new admissions has been as successful as they claimed, TJ teachers would not have to send out emails like this

I have a real hard time believing these poorly written emails actually originated from teachers[/quote]

Poorly written and absolutely nothing I'd ever expect to read from a teacher. At MIT we [b]regularly [/b]had exam averages in the 50s, 60s or 70s. Professors were never unprofessional like that.[/quote]

You explained it yourself. It wasn't anything REGULAR at TJ. Maybe, it's now.[/quote]
The "MIT" person is likely the same troll who has been spouting their "MIT" credentials on the opening line of their threads while showing a general lack of understanding and common sense on basic topics. If they actually went to MIT, they would understand that 1) A typical MIT exam in the sciences and engineering is purely about raw problem solving; on a different level than what is tested on a TJ Math 4 exam, thus a curve at MIT is normal and even very likely. 2) The TJ letter was extremely well written and pinpointed the exact problem with abundant evidence of the students lack of motivation or effort. They even excellently summarized that it's not a capability issue, it's about attitude. 
Unfortunately this is much more common these days; it's not a coincidence that a current #1 bestseller is this book https://www.amazon.com/Anxious-Generation-Rewiring-Childhood-Epidemic/dp/0593655036[/quote]
