The county's mission is to educate the public and was funded by taxes so your analogy doesn't stand up. However, it can also be argued they are selecting the best especially since they made an effort to negate the effects of these expensive prep schools which skewing admission to make mediocre applicants appear gifted.[/quote]

Exactly? [/quote]

This begs me to question, are we really selecting the truly gifted students who will fulfill and advance the schools goal of providing best stem education to the most talented with these new changes? There are posts that compared last years TJ freshman against others, but that comparison will disappear in couple of more years when the entire cohort will be replaced by new admissions. I guess, only time will tell how TJ will do in future. Until then we can keep arguing with each other in the void. I don't mind the changes and I don't mind the diversity, but are we going in a right direction and achieving the goals we wanted, not just the racial mix that looks like an improvement on the paper.

It sounds like they're selecting much higher quality now that they've reduced the number of families that were gaming admission through these cram schools.[/quote]
