For all of the misery at TJ I wonder if the kids think it was a mistake to attend. TJ students might stand out more and be less one dimensional if they weren't competing with students that are groomed since pre-K to memorize and take tests. A school were being a robot is the goal. They probably would be more well rounded if they went to school in a more normal environment.

Idiots always believe they are more well rounded just because they have low IQ.

You are both right

Bosses of these folks almost always have lower IQ but they make more money, have more friends and are generally happier. To each their own. TJ really fits the bamboo ceiling stereotype. Most of the TJ graduates top out very quickly on the pay scale and never reach management levels.

This is a reality. Good people skills and leadership skills will take anyone farther in almost any job. You can't teach it school.

Correct I wrote the above TJ is mostly asians now who have parents that don't understand that doing well in school is not what matters in the real world. Not meant to be a swipe against Asians or TJ but that is what the demographics currently are. I have an MBA from top 5 and I know its been pretty frustrating in my own career to see people rise up who have no business being there. The people from my class who are the most successful weren't the sharpest. That's just the reality and the sooner parents and kids learn it the better. Its all about networking and selling yourself.

That's how it is in the real world. The people at the top are not usually the ones with the biggest degrees. In fact no one really cares about where you went to HS.

Then stop posting about a high school!

Asian parents do understand that "connections: is the most important thing!!! They are constantly working on that and that is why TJ Alumni association is so active in helping each other with internships and jobs etc.

There are TJ Alumni groups at most top colleges as well. They help each other with summer internships and permanet jobs etc.

At the state level for debate and forensics, they aren't even in the same region. TJ is in a region for smaller schools.

Once again, YOU CAN'T COMPARE RESULTS FROM A SELECTIVE ADMISSIONS MAGNET TO A OPEN ADMISSIONS PUBLIC SCHOOL. Can't you grasp how ridiculous that is? That these schools can compete with a selective magnet is amazing. As a TJ parent, you give us all a bad name. You are pathetic.

I thought all TJ students were one dimensional drones lacking good communication skills while students at top base schools (such as Langley and McLean) were socially skilled, well-rounded, multi-dimensional great communicators with lawyers as parents. No?

Are you a TJ student? Whoever you are, you are most definitely one-dimensional and lacking in social skills.
