[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the proposed change or the change to admissions process?  Is it to simply take top 1.5% of kids from each and every middle school in the county, regardless of race?  please explain. [/quote]
Also, exactly how are they going to determine the top 1.5%?  If TJ admissions is going to use a similar process as previous years, but ensure that at least around 6 kids from each middle school are selected, that would be fine.  I don't know if it was just a rumor, but I had heard earlier that it would be GPA for all kids in at least 3 honors classes and at least Algebra I in 8th grade.  That would be a terrible metric for finding the best students.  [/quote]

I think it's a great idea to try to bring more Hispanic and Black students into TJ.  And AAP.  I really do.

But in this hypothetical TJ admissions system, as applied, is it possible the biggest winners would be less deserving white kids displacing higher scoring Asian kids?  Perhaps there's another more targeted solution.[/quote]
