If the primary goal of having a child attend TJ is to get them into an elite college, I think many of those TJ parents to be (and their kids) might be in for a rude awakening. Certainly not all TJ parents are pushing their kids to attend TJ so Johnny can get into Harvard, Stanford or MIT but prolly a large number do think this way whether they admit it or not.

Underwhelming indeed.

"Which high school has (on average) 12+ acceptances to MIT, 13+ acceptances to Duke, 10+ acceptances to Princeton, 30+ acceptances to Berkeley, 50+ acceptances to Michigan, 7-8 acceptances to Yale, 7-8 acceptances to Stanford, 5-6 acceptances to Harvard, 25+ acceptances to Cornell, 10+ acceptances to Chicago, 30+ acceptances to CMU, 200+ acceptances to UVA per year?"

The above is underwhelming for you? Your school does better?

Frankly I expected more from the TJ grads. It's not about whether my kid's school is better. Looking at this list I was underwhelmed. Why can't you accept that?

I am underwhelmed by this post. Frankly I was hoping for something better. All you do is repeat the same thing over and over again. As they say, I am appalled, but not shocked.

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.

+1000

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.

Thank you!!! +1,000,000!!

You haven't met TJ grads. They have great social skills and great communication skills (speaking & writing) and they are highly motivated in addition to possessing exceptional intelligence.

TJ dominates local and national debate tournaments and the local and national Model UN competitions!

How can they outperform other area students in debate/MUN?

What do you mean "How"? Kids at TJ speak American English. Did you think they spoke Mandarin or Hindi?

Welcome to TJ, where life is a series of group and individual projects, with papers and oral presentations, including TZj Star presentations on two years. It’s an amazing education— (but a bit annoying to have your kid doing a group project on the other side of the county).
