[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if your student knows they want to move on I would not wait.  I have seen those that want to hang on and try 10th grade always have a worse outcome than those leaving after 9th grade.  TJ only gets harder as you go up.[/quote]

Thank you. We have decided to make the switch now. If there is one take away from our experience, it is don't accept TJ offer unless your student is really really good at Math.  TJ Math courses move at a faster pace, and it is a constant struggle to recover once child falls behind.  Sure there were teachers ready to help, their bigsib program, after school review sessions,  etc., but any of these take away time from other courses which demand their own dedicated focus. Having solid study methods is necessary, as students have to develop their own study guides and rarely given.

I notice a lot of TJ parents here on this forum are hostile to each other, but I have not yet met a single TJ parent or student in-person or communicated directly who hasn't been kind and helpful. [/quote]
