[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's much less toxic now that they eliminated the test buying. It had constrained admission to a small group of hyper-competitive families from wealthy feeders. Things are much better without them.[/quote] There was no test buying. If there was any evidence of that it would have made the local if not national news and not just anonymous chart boards. This is just more of your racist bullshit directed at immigrant indian families that are outperforming your slack children. Without the testing, TJ is definitely less competitive in all the wrong ways. At least half the kids there would never have been admitted under any merit-based system and TJ has had to adjust its high standards to avoid failing a significant minority of the class. There were 165 national merit semifinalists for the class of 2024 out of 264 total in FCPS. I expect that number to drop to under 100 for the class of 2025 You can have merit with diversity but not like this.[/quote] You are mistaken. One-third of TJ's entering class attended a prep center that was known to have compiled a question bank that included many of the actual test questions. Most of these students could not have done well on the QunatQ without this advantage. These days kids get in on their own merit. I would expect even better results.[/quote] A prep center that doesnt exist and has no name? [/quote] The PP is referring to curie. It's an Indian learning center that has programs going from kindergarten to 12th grade. If you are a student there, you can also do test prep there for $300. The claim is that curie students that took the test in 2017 discussed the quant q portion of the test with the people at that learning center and then quant q used the exact same questions the next year and so the kids that took the class had seen the exact same questions before. Aside from some now deleted social media posts, there is no evidence that quant q had basically committed testing malpractice by using the exact same questions 2 years in a row. This is basically just the latest in a long line of white people accusing asian people (and jewish people before that) of cheating, or immorality or unethical behavior to rationalize their own poor academic performance.[/quote] Only you refer to it as an "Indian" learning center. You're the only person making this racial.[/quote] You were very clearly being racist by calling studying cheating. You specifically called out curie and curie is 100% Indian. You probably think you're a good person. A lot of racists think they're good people. You're a racist.[/quote] The test they used was not intended to be studied for. By studying for it they “broke” its effectiveness as a selection tool for TJ. [/quote]
