[quote=Anonymous]We did a Fairfax Collegiate class. The best thing about it was it gave the kids some time and space to research and understand TJ. They were doing it, to help them write better essays. But I think if you also view it as a time to think about whether the opportunities there are interesting (or not) then it might be worth the time. I think my kid getting some feedback on his writing was helpful. Middle school English hasn't been that challenging, so it's good to get a tougher set of eyes getting feedback. So it feels worthwhile, beyond just the test. Anything that will help your student think strategically or critically about how they communicate, and to have some skills writing persuasive papers would probably help. The TJ test doesn't look at spelling or grammar (which I was surprised to hear). But that's what the FCPS person giving the admission presentation said.[/quote]
