Current TJ / High School Students - How much sleep are they getting

[Anonymous]

About 7 hours on weekdays, 8-9 hours on weekends. Sometimes the night before exams/projects etc they make stay up till 1 am but it’s not the norm. Also kid says they sleep on the 40 min school bus ride (Loudoun)

130 returned to base school?

That is extremely high.

I remember the threads from a few years ago when the admissions changes were first introduced by the prior school board. In those threads, the arguments were whether it was 10 students or 30 to 40 students.

- and of course the pro-admissions-change people all denied dropout rates would result and lower SES admits would do “equally well” as students admitted under the prior system.

Looks like the pro-admissions-change / equity-warrior crowd was gaslighting us and lying all along.

130 dropouts is a massive increase.

My freshman gets 8 hours of sleep regularly. They are very efficient at getting homework done—workload hasn’t been a problem so far.

I wonder what class of 2026 is. Class of 2025 had the disadvantage of being the guinea pigs plus two key math years over Covid. It would have been a rough class to start in I think.

equity dropouts talk needs to remain hush hush. Just imagine the uproar if the numbers were out in the open. What goes on in TJ admissions, stays in... shh!
