[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put this FB page in context for me. Because reading the posts makes me think no one in their right mind would send their kids there. There is such a disconnect between the way TJ parents rhapsodize about the school on DCUM and how the biter, jaded students actually describe their experiences on that page. It’s not like they seem the least bit likable, referring to “base school plebs” and the like, but it’s still hard not to feel sorry for them when they come across as so miserable.  Or is it just supposed to be a parody of teenage angst?[/quote]

So does DCUM represent the entire class of parents with kids in schools in the DC area?   I don't think you would say yes.  There are approx. 2000 students at TJ and if 30 of these at any time are using "TJ Vents"-conventions to express themselves and take out their vents in an exagerated way but in the "safe space" of the FB page, does that truly represent what is happening to the other 1970 students?  If you went to the student clubs and just google youtube "TJHSST" you will get a lot of alternative views of happy kids doing really creative things and come away with a diametrically different view of TJ.
