My God you are full of shit. Elitism and quality in college is important and useful, but this is not true in high school. ![]() |
This thread reminds me of Groundhog day. Same arguments on each page. ![]() |
Look at how upset these TJ parents get when people don’t agree that TJ is the Almighty God. They resort to name calling and insults. |
TJ is a joke. |
You're full of hate. Let it go. Acting like a bitch doesn't make you sound like a boss (a wannabe that is) |
When you have a smart motivated student, it doesn’t matter if they go to TJ or stay in their home base school. They are going to do well and get into excellent colleges- going to TJ will not change anything. Students should go to TJ because they want the things that TJ offers that are not available at their home school.
Anecdotal: My second DC was one of those kids who chose to stay at his home school and a good friend from ES chose to go to TJ. They are both motivated smart boys. They ended up up at the same college and they were in 2 of 4 classes together (both were advanced classes because each had APs that skipped the freshman courses for math and physics). Both went to the correct HS for themselves. Both had great experiences. If you are lucky enough to have the choice, pick the school that best fits. |
Anyone who says there’s grade inflation at TJ doesn’t have any knowledge whatsoever? Keep telling yourself these lies. DC works 3-5 hours a night for an A-. No DC is not lazy and believe me belongs at this school. Her friends that were never in AAP are getting As at base school and spend hours a night on social media.
As for college, this is a silly post. |
I am the grade inflation poster. I was talking about the base school making it impossible to tell the difference between the top students. At TJ those save student will differ by .3-.4 on the GPA. |
For those who can't make it in. ![]() |
TJ is the best high school in the country with no tuition! |
Yes. Free tuition is the best part. ![]() |
No, the best high school is the best part. |
TJ serves a useful purpose since it quarantines some of the area’s most obnoxious parents and students. If these kids were at their base schools, there would be more cheating and back-stabbing. |
I thought cheating and back stabbing, I meant socially skilled and well-rounded, was the way to get ahead in America. ![]() |
It's like attending MIT for free. |
