[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read another article where they interviewed some of the plaintiffs and included parents who were upset that their kids who had been prepping for the entrance exam for a while might not get a shot. One parent moved to VA when the kid was a baby thinking he wanted the kid to go to TJ.   In other words, they are proving the stereotypes right.[/quote]

It really is sad. They don’t even realize what they’re saying.[/quote]

This. They moved in 2009 because of tj. The kid is a 7th grader. He’s likely 12.
We have have a family friend who did this. Their daughter is a freshman there now. It was their goal since she was 2. Nearly every minute of the child’s life has been structured:
- piano
- athletic practices/games
- tj prep classes
- enrichment classes
- writing classes
- academic competitions

Etc. imagine that every since weekend and weeknight for a decade. One two week vacation each year and the rest was some commitment all the time. [/quote]

Not the path I chose for my children, but I am willing to bet these kids are going to be outstanding adults and contributors to society.  If they were training to be Olympic gymnasts or something, we would be applauding their dedication and fortitude.  [/quote]
