[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many hours of sleep do kids get at TJ? I have heard so many parents complain about kids only getting 4-6 hours of sleep.

How many APs + Post APs would you have done by the end of 12th grade? I was shocked to hear most kids get around 10+. Is it true?[/quote]

Most kids at any school can do 10-12. [/quote]

My DS is from 2023. On weekdays he is almost always up till 1 or 2 am doing his homework or studying for some test. It's a catch-up game with the amount of work these kids are expected to do. It's insane and I am not sure what long-term impacts this will have on his health. He complains about digestive problems and his doctor told us it's because of stress. Honestly, TJ's parents are not transparent about how the kids are doing. They may be getting c's but it's always A's to friends and family and how well prepared they are for college. [/quote]

My DD is from 2022 and it's a relief that she is done. She came from one of the feeder schools and we thought she was well prepared for TJ but unless you are a genius in all subjects, you can never be prepared. It's like climbing K2 without a break for 4 years.  My DS is from 2025 and is going to a base school. Definitely a much-rounded education and a happier kid. We should never have sent my DD to TJ but at least did not repeat our mistake. [/quote]
