[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The thing is, many of those kids are not actually more advanced, they’ve essentially been hothoused to appear to be advanced. Many of the kids who have taken extra math classes ahead of their grade level don’t fundamentally understand the extra math they’ve studied but have simply learned to memorize. Math teachers at TJ have complained about the number of kids who come in who are “advanced” on paper but don’t have the understanding necessary to do truly advanced math courses. [/quote] Then TJ needs to write better math screening exams to differentiate between kids who understand the advanced math and those who don't. It would be much more productive to make the TJ tests more difficult to prep than it would be to complain that people are prepping. [/quote]
