[quote=Anonymous]PP, your DS will be fine at TJ with Bs if need be.  I personally feel that parents buy into the "you must have all As" mentality more than most of the students do.  If your DS wants to go and do well, but isn't obsessed about being #1 at every subject -- virtually impossible given the pool of talent and knowledge at TJ -- then he will be fine. Our DC is the same ... As a sophomore DC has learned so much, about almost any topic you could think of.  Thanks to the hardest IBET of last year (one teacher retired, one moved on to head department at a private school), DC is has great writing skills and is a very solid scientific thinker. Was it hard during last year? For sure at times and especially when the project was due.  Did it pay off in the large amount of learning? Yes. Was the presentation of the IBET project cool? Very much so - I am pretty sure consulting firm new hires out of college are not as poised and prepared at presentation.  And who was my DC's favorite teacher?  The hardest, even though she was probably the first to give DC an F on anything. [/quote]
