Nope. This just created parents like OP who thought they had figured out the recipe for getting into TJ. And they loved that it was harder to attain by most kids who went without the knowledge of the “secret” recipe and means to achieve it. This has nothing to do with talent. [/quote]

What secret recipe?  Being good at math?

If being advanced in math, getting straight As in the highest levels of classes offered by your school, and excelling in STEM competitions doesn't make a child TJ-worthy, then what does?  Getting Bs?  Taking regular classes?  Failing to qualify for Algebra?  Not even participating in STEM competitions or doing poorly?  Have we entered bizarro world?[/quote]

Not saying a kid who took extra math on the outside and likes math competitions isn't not worthy. But so is the kid in algebra I who enjoys stem but doesn’t take outside math or compete. Those two students are both advanced and worthy of a STEM magnet school. [/quote]
