[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most years the school admits about 42% females and 58% males. That’s 16 percentage points more, but represents almost 40% more males than females (it varies year to year). It’s a problem. [/quote] It is only a problem if there's something about the admissions process that discriminates against girls. You know how, in the past, there were questions on IQ tests about items like gems, farming, authors, conductors, etc... that the average disadvantaged black person was never exposed to in their lifetime, so it was discriminatory. It was not testing reasoning ability, it was testing cultural knowledge based on exposure. Culturally-biased questions like that have since been removed from these tests. So the question should be "are there any admissions components that discriminate against girls? " If not, then there is nothing wrong with the male-female ratio at TJ. I say this as a female.
