a good laptop for TJ
Ha ha ha! That was my post!
My DD will be at TJ in the fall. She needs a new backpack anyway, so I asked 2 people I personally knew with kids at TJ what they suggested. Specifically I was concerned about lockers and locker sizes. One said to get a backpack big enough for a laptop. The other person said she didn't need a laptop right away.
I wanted more opinions, but those are the only 2 people I personally know with kids currently at TJ, so I reached out to the only other group I know with a large number of kids at TJ, FCAG. The PP here was paraphrasing, because specifically I asked if she really needed a laptop her freshman year. I got several informative replies on the group as well as a few parents who emailed me directly with info. Everyone was very helpful. Several people explained in detail how the kids carried their books during the day, they don't have lockers, etc. It is very different from the way things work at our base HS and how her MS worked, so I was glad I posted.
I almost posted the same question here. The replies on this thread are indicative of why I didn't feel like I would get helpful responses.
