[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could current TJ families share more of their experience?  Esp. 9th grade transitioning from MS to HS. Was it a shock to your DC?[/quote]

I posted above about my kid konking out by 10 normally. The transition was easier than I worried it would be. The first month was tough - mainly due to Research Statistics (no longer a 9th grade class I hear) and how the teacher took a more indirect approach to teaching math vs direct instruction one. Similar for CS. After the first month this seemed to have worked itself out though.

DD was just so much happier socially at TJ that the greater stress demands were far outweighed by that. So overall plus for mental health. This is going to vary so much kid to kid though. [/quote]

Thanks! I heard many kids skip sports to "save time" for studying and clubs, is that true?  [/quote]
academically struggling kids skip sports especially after TJ freshman year when grades are glaring in the face.  The only students who can afford to spend additional two to three hours after school ends are the smart students. Very different scenario from base school, where athletic students have very little academic pressure.   [/quote]
