[quote=Anonymous]I am asian parent with a kid currently taking after school enrichment program for math and I have been considering sending my kid to TJ prep in future. However, I have to admit current TJ admission process is heavily skewed towards prepping and those who can afford them. So, it is definitely not fair to some minorities, economically disadvantaged and less educated/informed parents. While I do agree that the process needs to be changed, though I do not lottery system is a good idea. There will be many deserving kids who will lose out in the lottery including those in the very same disadvantaged kids that the new process intends to target. May be there needs to be an IQ like test that tests critical thinking which not specific to subject areas followed by an interview with some weight to teacher recommendations to interested students who meet the minimum bar. I wish there is some quota just to get over the whole problem! [/quote]
