[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi All, Wondering how it works if you want to transfer back to base school from TJ. Do grades follow you and impact final grade? When is the ideal time to make the switch? DC is absolutely drowning in work and not doing well on assessments. It’s very defeating.[/quote] I believe if you transfer back now, your grades will not follow you, but at some point they cannot ignore your performance at TJ. If you transfer back after the semester or year is over, I think your grades follow you. One bad semester can be explained away, 4 bad years cannot. I think the principal requests to counsel you and your child before you decide to return. She will likely suggest using the 8th period to take advantage of tutoring that is available for students. I would at least to what she has to say but she has her own agenda and that isn't necessarily in the best interests of your child. She's not a monster but the number of students that returned to their base schools jumped from like 4-5 a year to as high as 40 when they started the new admissions process and she implemented all sorts of ways to reduce that number. One of the ways was requesting to counsel your family on other options. These remedial measures have helped a lot of kids keep their head above water and get on track to graduate with a respectable GPA. If you are poor then there is some value to graduating from TJ with a decent GPA. If you are UMC and drowning at TJ, take your child and leave, you aren't helping them by keeping them there.[/quote]
