[quote=Anonymous]If nothing else, TJ will make you much more humble about your kid’s abilities. You can rattle off all the high test scores you want. But, as others have pointed out, there are huge red flags. It doesn’t seem like you have any grasp on what TJ entails. I feel sorry for your kid. HFA/ 2e in HS is hard, without mom dreaming if TJ. And many kids like yours significantly underperform in HS. Brilliant is good and all. But most of HS is just doing the work, on time and according to the rubric. And getting along with others. The most brilliant kid I know is 2e HFA. He had to leave a top FCPS HS for social and academic reasons and ended up in a private school that caters to LDs. Applied to 10 colleges, all of which DCUM would sneer at. Got into 1: Elon. Burlington Nc, here he comes. [/quote]
