+1 She is probably too busy working on bullying, drugs and racial discrimination in order to get more "well rounded". |
First. I’M A TJ PARENT. And I frequently defend TJ on this board. Second, you said the racial demographics are similar at TJ and Cal Tech. They just aren’t. What you said is factually wrong. That isn’t pro-TJ or anti- TJ. It isn’t pro-Asian or anti-Asian. It’s just a statement of fact. TONE IT DOWN A NOTCH. Or 12. And yes, bullying, racial discrimination and drugs— all bad. But I am also very involved in TJ’s music department and have a life out side of my kids’ school. And I’m a nerd who gave birth to 2 TJ nerds. You may be the first person to ever call me anti-intellectual. You don’t make TJ parents look good when you fly off the handle and start attacking people who correct your stats. |
Isn't that part of being well-rounded? We denigrate academics and encourage such "well-roundness". Anyone focused on academics and being ambitious is criticized as one-dimensional and robotic drones etc. |
+1000. |
Again. i’m A TJ parent. Is it that inconceivable that a TJ parent would point out incorrect stats. And I am more worried about homework load and sleep (a problem at TJ)than bullying and drugs (not so much). Plus my job, my other kid, my household and my friends. Cut out the attacks. The does not help,the image of TJ parents. |
Some of the time spent not sleeping by TJ students is to do things like iNight - one show only, tonight at George Mason to a sell out crowd. The students are amazing and inclusive, and having a lot of fun ... the largest high school cultural event in the country. |
It's a great show! |
Who cares if you are a real TJ parent or not. We didn't see you jump out when TJ parents and students were viciously attacked by anti TJ bigots. Just go away. We don't need your "advice". |
+1 can’t wait! Managed to get tickets this year! There is also a livestream on yourtube at 7:00 tonight. “Inite 2018”. If you have a kid who is thinking about attending, tune in. |
My "advice" is that DCUM is filled with sound and fury, signifying nothing. I'm not sure I should be particularly worried about "vicious attacks" from these quarters. |
How do you know this on an anonymous board without user names? Because you are wrong. I do quite a bit of defending TJ on here. Just not when people are objectively wrong on the facts. |
Vicious attacks by anti TJ bigots?! Lol. |
Do you like "malicious attacks on TJ by racist bigots" better? |
