Another essentially unfalsifiable claim that turns into soft racism. If the present student body is doing just as well as previous students, that's evidence that standards must be lowered or that grading is more lenient because [b]of course[/b] Black and Hispanic kids can't do as well as [b]our[/b] kids! We try harder! We care more about school! We have the market cornered on effort in academics!

You actually haven't presented any evidence that the present student body is doing just as well as previous students.

You lose credibility when you come across as such a shill.  It appears all you care about is PR and want to declare success on the basis of very little evidence. [/quote]

DP.  It's unreasonable to expect the class of 2025 to do as well as previous TJ classes.  3 months of 7th grade and most of 8th grade were virtual for them, with extremely low standards for As at almost every middle school.  Even the high achievers lost some of the content that was supposed to be taught in their honors/AAP classes.  If more kids in the class of 2025 need remedial classes, it could reflect lower standards.  [i]It also could reflect the learning loss and difficulties with virtual schooling for so many of the kids.  [/i][b]

What you say should not matter - TJ caliber/TJ ready students actually learn more on their own than from their "average" teachers except for maybe few of the TJ teachers.[/quote]

You start off by saying...I agree with you but :) [/quote]
