[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From TJ staff the general recommendation you'll hear is sign up for bare minimum course rigor each year, no need for summer courses, and make sure your kid doesn't stress out about grades. This is their CYA stance. But following this approach alone, leaves the student at a huge disadvantage compared to the top half of the class enrolled in much more comprehensive and rigorous advanced coursework.

It is not until parents talk to other parents, and students talk to their peers or upperclassmen that they learn of effective course planning and possibilities to fully utilize student's full potential.[/quote]

They are not disadvantaged by taking PE during the school year. Your child is in a Race to Nowhere if you try to match the extremely tiger parented students. You won't win and your child will be burned out.[/quote]

It's not "race to nowhere" to be realistic that if your kid does Band/Orchestra and a language that it's really hard to make those work w/o summer PE. Band/Orchestra also aren't "academic" so for kids who do those and aren't super into PE they are the "stress relief" class in the schedule. [/quote]
