[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you get to TJ, college really doesn't matter. These kids are best of the best.[/quote]

Respectfully disagree. I think high school is important, and college is important too. I am not saying the colleges have to be the prestigious colleges or anything. They are both important time periods that influence the kids' development.[/quote]
Younger is always more important in a child's development, because that is when the brain is developing the most. And high school is particularly important due to the onset of puberty. If your kid is going to be surrounded by a bunch of overly emotional, hormonal teenagers, it's better to be around those that are intelligent, ambitious, have better emotional control and cognizant of the consequences of stupid decisions.

The best students at TJHSST end up at Stanford, MIT and the like. The best students at base high schools end up at UVA, and perhaps the top 10-15 schools if they are truly exception or have a hook.

The ones at TJHSST complaining about not getting into UVA and VT simply would not have gotten in if they went to their base high schools anyway.[/quote]
