[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I knew someone would respond with the lines you are quoting.  Of course everyone has a chance to do well and find love.   What I have said it the great majority of those at the top have had great opportunities throughout their lives and each opportunity has created others.  The Supreme Court Justices all went to Harvard and Yale, coincidence?  The majority of those going to the best universities benefited from private school educations and households that create learning environments.  It all builds.  Its about having the best opportunity.   I am speaking of the  majorities, not the outliers that you are citing.

Exactly how may TJ grads did not go to AAP as a %?   A very small majority I would believe.  [/quote]

Does anyone have facts to support that more AAP kids go to TJ?  TJ looks for advanced math students. AAP works one grade level ahead in math. General education students who are in compacted math also work one grade level ahead in math. Some schools mix the gen ed compacted math with the AAP, while some schools have a completely separate advanced math class within the gen ed.  Once in middle school, all the schools offer both honors and AAP. Either of these classes would provide the background to pass the TJ entrance test. TJ isn't just for smart students, rather it's for students uniquely talented in STEM subjects. With the compacted math option, this pulls many students who are not in AAP. [/quote]

65% of students accepted at TJ last year were in Geometry 8th. Is it offered in all MS, and are the kids really ready to excell in it? The vast majority of TJ accepts come from the center schools. It is on the internet on mnay different sites.[/quote]
