[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the kids stay within the swim lanes of their abilities AND focus on what they like vs take courses to make their college application competitive AND are organized - then TJ is a not a very hard place to do well and more importantly, the kids can have a good HS experience overall. This applies to not just TJ, but overall HS experience, from what I have seem, between my 2 kids - 1 TJ, one non TJ Where it gets tough in TJ is the peer pressure seeing all the Curie kids clamoring to take the hardest math courses. Thats where some parental advice/support can go a long way [/quote] +1000. Comparison is the thief of joy. And the ironic thing is, the kids who don't engage in the comparison with their peers and choose their own path through the school end up doing better in the college admissions process.[/quote]
