[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no interest in TJ, but why don’t they implement a similar application/acceptance system of Ivy League and other good colleges:

Have the test but also take into consideration background, personality, extracurricular activities etc? Do they have to write an essay? Is there an interview?

Yes, it would probably mean that an Asian or white male would have to score much higher on the test than a Hispanic or black female, but as long the black/hispanic (some other race) scores enough or the minimum they consider acceptable (meaning, the child has a chance to succeed in the program); that would be ideal.

Exactly. Admissions protesters are always citing that they have higher scores and don't get in. That's just not how it works. Once you achieve a minimum standard on scores, everyone is qualified to get in (based on their score). Then, there are other factors to consider. Why is this so hard to understand?[/quote]

hint they already do this

There just aren't a ton of black and hispanic students with even minimal standards/scores to make the cut

sorry woke/SJW there just aren't[/quote]

Then that's a testament to how badly the schools that teach these students are failing them and the entire system needs to be revamped.[/quote]

ugh really are you really that simple

look the education gap exists because of parental choices and decisions from 0-3

It is not the school responsibility to close the gap, billions of dollars have been spent to close the gap with no results

Why, again it's parenting

From 0 to 3 are you actively engaging with the child, are you reading to it, etc or are you ignoring it, or even worse yelling and screaming at it.

The rural whites, suburban Hispanics and urban African Americans who fail to actually parent and worse actively negative parent are the cause of societal gaps.  Schools can't fix the issue.  People need to be actually willing to parent properly. [/quote]
