[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tjhsst is not what it used to be before pandemic. Now admissions are not merit based, but diversity focused. UVA admissions is responding accordingly [/quote]

Oh so it's not merit enough to be one of the top students in your middle school just because it doesn't perform as well as the wealthier schools? Sounds like you think merit is really just giving spaces to those who are able to buy their way into TJ. [/quote]
[b]wealthier schools? top feeder school are all public schools.[/b]  Of course, the process is broken, if students are returning to base school unable to handle TJ curriculum.  [/quote]

Oh please the schools that were traditionally feeders to TJ were all in wealthier areas of the counties, with the best teachers and more advanced programs. You can't pretend that the schools here are all equal. And students have had that problem long before this change because being able to do well on the test doesn't actually measure how well students will be able to handle the environment. [b]Just like the SAT it really just measures who has the most money and time to prep for it.[/b]
