[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP's son had no business with TJ if not because of the TJ reform. It's a bad fit and will be a torture for him because he'll feel like a loser for four years.[/quote]

Shame on you. You don’t know that’s the case. [/quote]
Shame on me? Do you know he had ZERO chance academically before the TJ reform? Might have as well cheated his way in by faking a Hispanic identity (I know many cases already after the TJ reform). I won't be surprised if that's the case.[/quote]

How do you know this?  TJ has had students who took algebra 1 in 8th grade every single year before the latest reforms.[/quote]
DP.  Sure, but the 8th grade Algebra 1 admits in the past were kids who still did quite well on the TJ tests and had impressive teacher recommendations.  Being in Algebra 1 wasn’t disqualifying, but it was a significant negative.

In the current process, no weight is given to courses taken, there’s no real test, and there’s no teacher input.  A pretty average kid who needed tutors to get As in 8th grade Algebra looks the same in the application as the straight A math star taking pre Calc in 8th. [/quote]
