[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC got acceptance to TJ and AET (Loudoun) and we are having a hard time deciding where to go. He is okay with Math but is not one of those Math counts / AMC kind of kid who lives and breathes math. He is extremely hard working and where he may be lacking in Math, he makes it up by sheer hard work. He excels at all the other STEM subjects, especially science. Would TJ be a good fit for him? Is TJ math-intensive? Are all kids attending TJ, mathematical geniuses? We are a little apprehensive after speaking with current and former students who mentioned that the Math teachers at TJ do not actively teach the subject and kids are left to learn most of it on their own. He aims to pursue a career in science and may stop Math by taking AP Calculus BC in senior year. Have non-math kids thrived at TJ?[/quote]

OP, I suggest you go to the parent preview night and talk to people. My kid also accepted into both. Kid is very good at math (taking Alg2/Trig currently and getting an easy A) but doesn’t like the math counts/competitions and has a lot of interests, STEM and non-STEM. I don’t think they have to live and breathe math at TJ. [/quote]

Thank you so much. Planning to attend tonight.[/quote]
