[quote=Anonymous][quote] I have not yet met a TJ student that does not spend a great deal of time on homework -- that is a downside of TJ if your student does not like or tolerate a lot of homework time. TJ is like going to junior college at 14. [/quote]

I have a freshman at TJ this year. I would agree with this. I think a kid who will do well at TJ is one who is not unhappy at the thought of having a great deal of homework and [i]wants [/i]an academically challenging course load.

I was on the fence with DD. After she was accepted, to let her know what she would be in for, we sat down and worked up scenarios for several 4 year schedules based on some of the senior research lab topics that interested her. I knew letting her go to TJ was not a bad idea when she looked at the schedules (some of which horrified me), and she said "This sounds awesome!!"

That being said, she feels like she has found a home. She has joined a group activity that she would likely have had little chance of joining at our base high school, and she is having a fantastic time. Yes, there is a TON of homework, but she is enjoying herself.
