[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] TJ teachers say the same things, mostly about their students who are entering in Pre-Calc or above in the 9th grade. There are exceptions, of course, but it doesn't take them long to separate the "gifted" from the "advanced" - the latter of which is not really a compliment.[/quote] Sure, but why is that necessarily the school's problem to solve? I'd rather leave the system as is, so the gifted kids can get much needed advancement, even if one side effect is that kids who chose to push ahead end up struggling. For TJ kids, I bet the majority of kids who enter in pre-Calc and then struggle are the ones who did summer geometry to get ahead. For the most part, these are kids who were not smart or advanced enough to be skipped ahead to 6th grade Algebra, and then massively shortchanged their understanding of geometry. [/quote]
