[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another idiot who doesn’t believe that a student can take the test cold and succeed.  What’s your connection to TJHSST again?[/quote]

Does seeing the format of the questions help at all? 
[/quote]

It wasn't just seeing the format. Many claimed they saw the actual questions ahead of time. [/quote]

That's a great reason to eliminate the Quant-Q.  It doesn't explain why the process was gutted to the point that it's impossible to distinguish between a highly gifted kid and a somewhat above average one.  They could have retained a baseline proficiency test, teacher recommendations, more substantial problem solving essays, credit for notable accomplishments etc. while still minimizing the impact of extreme prep.  [/quote]

Well with people buying the test the quantQ didn't help differentiate between students either.[/quote]

just a complete digression to dehumanise Asian kids. [/quote]

No one is trying to dehumanized Asian kids. People just don't want access to[b] expensive prep centers [/b]to be a significant factor to get into a public school. Pretty sure Asian kids aren't the one paying the $4,000 and trying to game the system. That's all on adults.[/quote]

The prep center is just an excuse, a red herring to distract from the underlying racist discrimination against Asians. Parents, not just Asian parents, are all resourceful when it comes to the upbringing of their children. Even if you narrowly tailor a law outlawing academic prep centers and tutoring, as authoritarian China has recently done (it's true, look it up), parents will find some other way to raise their kids how they see fit - and some of them will go to great lengths to prepare their kids for a future in STEMP field and target a high school like TJ. [/quote]

I don't think you understand the meaning of red herring. When 30 percent of a class came from ONE expensive prep center, I think it is completely relevant.[/quote]

Trying to deflect from the actual issue.
