[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Spanish teachers at TJ are notorious for being tough and dis-organized.  Take another language if you want easy.  Back to OP - first thing, wait until your kid is admitted to TJ before you start worrying.

Then, if they are admitted, listen to your kid.  If THEY want to take summer school look into it.  If they, balk, think twice. Plenty of kids take summer school, and plenty don't.

Parent of a kid who has take summer school very summer prior to TJ school year against my better judgment.[/quote]

Also-- this exchanges brings to mind a  BTDT parent tip. The TJ counselors know what they are doing. When they do donmath and language and CS placement test, give serious consideration to what they recommend.  If they recommend your kid goes into the lower level language, or math 2.5 instead of math 3, or CS instead of AP or accelerated CS, or when they get older that they take regular physics and not AP, or only 3 APs, not 5, at least hear them out and give their advice consideration, even if you go a different way in the end. Every TJ parent has a kid who has gone through school overachieving in the hardest possible classes. So, it's easy to think that your kid can fill in the gaps and be fine. But all kids at TJ are like your kid, and smarter, and counselors take that into account.  So at least hear counselor recommendations out. [/quote]
