[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wierd they couldn’t figure out new questions every year? [/quote]They did. The notion that the problems seen at Curie were the exact same as those asked in future admissions test is false. "Buying the answers" really means "buying [i]past[/i] questions and answers".

Personally, I think the solution would have been to publicly release past exams to reduce the benefit of places like Curies[/quote]

No, it's not that kind of test.  The solution was to scrap it and change to a different type of test.  Which they did.  Problem solved.  People complain, but people complain about everything.[/quote]

The test was the SHSAT.  The current "test" isn't actually a test.  It's a combination of "what I did for my summer vacation" combined with "why I really really really want to go to TJ"[/quote]

Which is why you are so happy that your kid doesn't have to go to a school filled with those sorts of kids![/quote]

We were at the open house last night.  My kid is going next year but when he came home and told me about the test, I was like "Oh, so it's a lottery?"

No doubt the kids are all bright because they had to meet the cutoff.  I am glad to see the increase in free/reduced lunch kids but the intent behind the change was to move the goalpost to get a particular racial result.  The current method is so random, and its very hard to argue that something that is effectively a lottery is racist.  Those hearings were racist AF.[/quote]

How many Black and Hispanic students did you see last night? Not many I bet.[/quote]
I was at my older ones HS Basketball game and didnt see any Asian American students? Where is equity, I had to wonder! [/quote]

Their team must not have been playing against TJ.[/quote]
