[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]except they are gifted in math, presumably[/quote] What's the use of labeling kids as gifted if they don't have the required knowledge for early TJ Math classes and are left to struggle without assistance? If FCPS has chosen an equity-based admission approach, they should start by identifying those who aren't adequately prepared and [b]openly offer remedial support[/b] to prevent any dropouts. [/quote] They do. But some students choose to return to their base school rather than tutoring. FWIW - it's not an issue of required knowledge or being gifted. The TJ Math department is well known to be tough, maybe unreasonably tough, and has reduced many students' previous enjoyment of math. Rather than offering remediation, another change would be better, imo. [/quote]
