This is the AAP forum, yet 12 of the top 25 posts are TJ posts - shouild their be a separate TJ forum?

I'd find it helpful if there weren't so many TJ posts. My child is not at that age. Would it make sense for there to be a separate TJ forum for those of us that aren't all that interested in TJ?

[Anonymous]

Yes

Many of us AAP parents are also interested in TJ related discussions. Moreover TJ is a significant option that many AAP students pursue after 8th grade.

I find it helpful that TJ discussions have TJ mentioned in subject line, making it easy to skip over

Yep been here for years and still haven’t figured out who TJ is or why everyone talks about him.

[Anonymous]

Yes should be separate

I shop at TJ Maxx, and this is the most relevant discussion forum I could find. Dont end it. No where else to go

It is just the admission time. TJ discussion - aside from the people still arguing over the admissions change - mainly spikes up a lot at this time as people try to weigh whether to accept or not. It would not be enough content to need its own forum most of the year.

Of course not. First the Virginia Schools Forum kicked AAP out because the posters who hate it and love it were so obnoxious, and then the Virginia Schools Forum kicked FCPS out because they were so prolific. Now you want to kick the TJ posters out?

Sheesh!

Schools should be segregated.

Most people want to avoid crazy.

Give it a few months, OP

Another forum? Hell to the NO. You already have a separate forum from FCPS. If you can’t manage to scroll through some posts about TJ to find the 87 other posts about how you want to appeal, that’s on you.

Some of you need to check yourselves and deal with your obsession to micromanage your kids. Stand down.

Plus, the bifurcated post categories are wholly seasonal. TJ posts dominate at the moment because the admissions decision came out at 6 PM last Friday.

A few weeks earlier, the school system AAP decisions.

Over the summer, this forum won’t have any traffic (or the chatter will focus solely on CTY).
