[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People will constantly kvetch that someone else has an unfair advantage when it comes to getting into TJ. One group will complain about test-prepped kids and the need for “equity.” [b]Another will point out the absurdity of funneling the most advanced kids into AAP centers and then treating non-AAP centers the same as AAP centers when allocating TJ seats. [/b] Reid is big on saying “imagine the possibilities” and the one many of us would like to imagine is a school system that wasn’t so preoccupied with one school in a county with 200 schools. [/quote] They're not treated the same. They would be if the 1.5% allocation took up the entire student population, but it does not. That's why Carson still gets 40 kids in. That being said, I'd like to see it dropped to 1%, which would probably take about 100 of the seats and convert them from allocated to unallocated.[/quote]
