[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child doesn't like math/science/tech, then ignore what I'm about to say... but the humanities at TJ are very strong.  The kids are bright, motivated and intellectually curious.  The teachers thrive off of that.  Most everything taught at that school is excellent.

I might get pushback on this from parents who want to pigeonhole the school for just being for science/math/tech nerds...[/quote]

It's not a matter of pigeon holing, it's that TJ intends to only accept those with a focused interest in STEM. [b]Those who are focused on humanities are only there because they lied on their applications.[/b] [/quote]

Quite an accusation.  How do you know this?[/quote]

I'm not sure if they lied per se, but they certainly had to indicate somehow that they were interested in a career in STEM and not the humanities. The school's website clearly states that the school is for thjose who wish to pursue a career in STEM.  And this "pigeonhole" comment is just bullshit.  It is a STEM school, hence the name: Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. [/quote]
