[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's fine to scare future parents/students ... TJ may not let you participate in graduation if you don't fulfill TJ graduation requirements.

I would hope next year and going forward, TJ would actually not allow the student to participate in graduation.[/quote]

Why? This is not a private school, but a public one. These people are graduating from a public school with a state-issued diploma. Why are you so determined to be vengeful on teenagers? Are you worried that someone might think your precious has the stink on them if you don’t obviously humiliate other kids who are still high school graduates?

Especially for the TJ kids, high school graduation is just a stepping stone to other things. I get when I read posts on national Facebook groups of the people going absolutely nuts over high school graduation and realize for some of these kids this may be the pinnacle of their academic achievement and this might be the best they will ever do, and may be the only time other than when they get married that they will have some kind of public event in their honor.

The real world doesn’t care that your kid went to TJ.[/quote]
I don’t think it’s being vengeful, but it is frustrating if kids who can’t meet the requirements are allowed to go all the way through when there are thousands of kids who did not get in who [b]may[/b] have been able to actually do all the work (my kid got in so I’m not just being bitter).

“may” .. maybe not, maybe yes, maybe worse, maybe better.
Reminder that you don’t know anything about these kids, none, zero.
Maybe this kids ace in anything else but struggle in calculus, maybe …

And if you are an incoming freshmen parents, congratulations.. you are entering the honeymoon phase, but very likely when your kid in junior year.. your tone might be different.[/quote]

There are kids with sub 2.5 weighted gpa with sub 1000 SAT.  WTF are they doing there?[/quote]
