[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ shouldn’t exist.  Test prep to get into a high schools is obscene.[/quote]

We have dozens of test-in magnet schools all over the country. Should we get rid of all of them?[/quote]

My child goes to a gifted magnet in the Midwest. The school district tests each kid themselves with a real IQ test and you need a 120 as well as good grades to get into the lottery. The school is racially diverse. [/quote]

Isn't 120 considered the lower end of "bright"? Not even gifted [/quote]

Your point? Many TJ students wouldn’t score in the gifted range. [/quote]

120 will be the average IQ score of a place like Herndon HS. It will be around 145 for TJ. [/quote]

You are delusional. This is a real IQ test given by an unbiased psychologist. Not a group ability test that is easily prepped. Not given by a psychologist mom and dad paid for. A 145 occurs 1 in 1000. [/quote]

My TJ kid was around a 145. He has always said TJ was the only place, K through college, where he felt dead average. [/quote]

You are making my point. The difference between a 120 and 145 kid can be almost nothing. So much more matters too. 120 is just the bare minimum. [/quote]
