[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]
Any student better than their own has to have a tiger parent. LoL!
 
There's no point in competing with or comparing oneself to the top hundred students of the TJ class, as they are skipping lower levels and filling up their coursework with AP and post AP courses, and have time for sports and clubs. Counselors would be risking trouble if they suggest such challenging course load path to a novice freshman, who potentially can complain about stress and poor grades if matters go south.  [/quote]
