[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are conflating two things

1. Old process is flawed

Hence, it seems the assumption seems to be

2. New process is good/better

I would agree the old process is flawed but new process is even more flawed. I do like the idea of some percentage of kids from each HS getting into TJ. That is a good decision. Dropping recommendation letters is the most damaging of all.

We need reform, but in a thoughtful way. Not like the rushed half baked job they did in the middle of a pandemic.

The new process isn't perfect but it's an order of magnitude better than the previous one. A system that includes all students not just those from the most affluent schools is a huge improvement. Also ending the tyranny of prep companies with their question banks was another big problem since people were effectively buying access. [/quote]

Very true but many parents wish to go back to the system where they could buy their kids way into TJ. They're bitter that the new process creates a level playing field that doesn't favor schools where parents invest heavily in prep.[/quote]
