[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what do you wish you and your DC would have known before applying or accepting a spot at TJ?[/quote] Not OP, and that's an excellent question. It's not in the best interests for anyone to try TJ for a year, and then return to base school. OP's kid seems to be doing fine and hasn't experienced anything atypical for TJ. So, did TJ pull a bait and switch at the open houses and info sessions? Did they make it seem like it wouldn't be as rigorous as it is, and that the norm is getting almost all As? Is it that parents all assume their kid will be a top performer, and they're stunned when that isn't the case? Is it that parents are assuming that their child should be very well prepared for TJ, based on MS grades and the TJ acceptance, only to find out that it isn't the case? What's the disconnect between what prospective TJ families are expecting and what TJ is actually like?[/quote]
