[quote=Anonymous]DC got in to TJ and went to the welcome event, but felt like an outsider and decided not to attend. Not sure if it was because Dc is white and/or because so many of the kids knew each other from their feeder schools and stayed in groups, but DC didn’t feel they fit in. Kids were flexing their math levels and academic achievements, which isn’t DC’s style. DC went in the gym to learn about the sports teams, but (while nice) many of the athletes had never played their sports before high school, and just weren’t as into sports as my kid. DC would be getting home very late each night after sports and felt that would be a disadvantage in academically competing with the kids who don’t play sports after school. While there are kids at all schools who don’t play sports, DC thought that subset of kids at TJ would be spending all that time studying, while that may not be true at other schools. [/quote]
