[quote=Anonymous]TJ Kid here, I can say that TJ vents is written on by only a small amount of TJ's population, but a lot of what is written there is felt by a majority of the students. A large majority of the kids at TJ are unhappy with TJ, but even though most of us are unhappy we all think that we would be even less satisfied at another school. It seems like the new principal is making things better so in general the school aspect of TJ should be less frustrating and depressing to deal with in a year, but a lot of what made TJ unique is getting taken away too because of stricter FCPS regulations. We used to be able to go outside (not off campus) during lunch and eighth periods but now we're locked inside the school and the courtyards for our whole school day which contributes a lot to the negative feelings that TJ brings.

A lot of things that were put in place to make TJ more tolerable to its students like student advocacy are completely ignored by most teachers too, so we often end up with 3 tests on the same day or whole projects to do over break that the teachers loophole in by making them due the day after break ends. Another things that looks good to outsiders but is more or less useless to us is the PTSA system. It's called PTSA instead of PTA because it supposedly involves the students, but us students really feel powerless a lot of the time. There's a lot of hate directed at a lot of the admin at TJ and also at FCPS because we know that if they decide to do something terrible like lengthening the school year or removing eighth periods we'll be able to do nothing.[/quote]
