The problem with removing all standardized tests is that students [i]do[/i] need a strong mathematical background to succeed at the school. As much as these companies "prep" students, they also prepare them academically for a very demanding curriculum. It's not the only way to be successful at TJ, but students who are "smart enough" and "hard working" succeed due to their (and their parents) diligence. Teachers at TJ rely on the fact that all the kids can "learn quickly" even when in actuality many of them are taking a parallel class while they are at TJ to learn the material. The question is whether TJ admissions should be based on "diligence" and "parents working hard with their kids". This is up for debate, but please let's not assume the kids are cheaters.

I wanted to add to that that I teach college classes, and I've seen multiple cases of students who worked as tutors at prep centers for kids easily finishing with the highest grade in class.  Sometimes it's just all about good learning habits and taking education seriously.[/quote]
