[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ Parent here: I agree with PP who said that most TJ kids are a standout at something. My son's "thing" is mobile app programming. TJ is not for every highly able, highly motivated child because the amount of homework is extreme (read:[b] 5 hours/night; 6-8 hours on Sat AND Sun[/b]) which bogs them down quite considerably. While my son enjoys it, he definitely has his moments where he has questioned his decision -- and we have also had our moments where we want to pull him and send him to his base HS. Think carefully about deciding to allow your child to attend -- it affects the whole family. Case in point, we RARELY do anything as a family anymore (even a family dinner out). My son typically can't join us -- he's got to study. [/quote] :( this sounds awful even if it is for a good cause....and even if the teen thinks the challenge is good. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.[/quote]
