[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]

Yeah you can't trust them for good honest advice, they are trying to cover their ass.

One of my kid's friends tested into 7th grade algebra and when the parents asked about it, the school told them that it just created unnecessary stress for kids so they didn't do it and they ended up taking a math class over a summer because it was actually not great advice for a math focused kid.
