[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a freshman at TJ. He is doing well there and enjoys the school and the unique opportunities it provides. When deciding, we told him not to consider college outcomes. Who really knows if your kid would be better or worse off going to TJ. The reason to go is for the challenge, the peer group, and the notion that, by the time you get to college, you will be well prepared. [/quote]

We felt that too while enrolling our kid. However the reality of the approaching college admissions makes us think otherwise now. We question our decision many times now - if we hampered our kid's chances of getting into a good college[/quote]
They've made the first year deceptively easy. It doesn't take much effort to get As or Bs, except for [b]math, biology, and world language[/b], in the first year. It's not until sophomore year that the real struggle begins, but by then, the student is firmly trapped in the TJ social image perception and unlikely to return to the base school. No easy DE courses available for TJ students. [/quote]

Math, bio and world language are half the classes...[/quote]
