[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The VAST majority of students care little about "STEM" and learning[/b], most are here for one of 4 reasons: 1.Their parents are forcing them to attend 2.They would be bullied at other schools 3.Their lives consist entirely of studying 4.To get into a good college. Speaking of schoolwork: the amount of cheating here is RIDICULOUS. Kids care more about getting into college than learning, and this shows in the amount of rampant cheating we have at TJ. [/quote]

My DS, a bright kid genuinely interested in science and math, is a freshman at TJ. Most of the kids he's met so far fit this description - they're at the school because their parents are making them go so they'll get into a good college. He's disappointed as he thought he'd find a more intellectual environment with kids who like to sit around and discuss physics, computers and Dr. Who. Instead most of them seem to be trying to find ways to game the system so they can get the best grade with the minimum of work.[/quote]
