[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an incoming freshman (he’s a merit kid from a feeder, not lottery), if he came home with a C on his report card freshman year he would be headed straight back to our base school.  I wouldn’t wait for the end of the year.  Our family has high educational expectations.  C’s might “earn degrees”, but not in this house.

I’m not worried about his grades and expect him to have all As or close to it freshman year.  It gets harder each year, so C’s freshman year is a horrible start.  As a parent, you should be able to see very early on if your child is thriving or just surviving at the school.  If the year starts out with lower grades on the first few tests/quizzes/assignments, that is the time to make adjustments to study habits and extracurricular time commitments (don’t wait until the kids GPA is already ruined).[/quote]
Funny.   This is clearly a troll post, with obvious giveaway clues that make it easy to spot as fake.  :lol: [/quote]

Not a troll, I have high standards for education for my children.  It would also be super concerning for a child who has scored all As in middle school advanced classes to suddenly have a C on his report card.  I know not all parents are as concerned with GPA, but most parents of TJ students are concerned.  TJ isn’t an average high school, a C would be a 2.0, students get kicked out of they don’t have a 3.0 GPA, so clearly C’s are not what the school is expecting of the students.

Do you even have a TJ student?[/quote]
