[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if the all-consuming nature of TJ is any different from the base schools? I remember being very busy with homework and activities in HS. Family was definitely on the periphery.[/quote] I've had kids at TJ and at the regular high school and I would say that the level of "busyness" can be similar. Kids who are taking all AP course loads and have a high level of involvement in extracurriculars are going to have a similar experience to a kid at TJ from what I've seen of my kids and their friends. My humanities kids at the regular high school put together programs that were just as challenging in their interest areas as my STEM kid has at TJ. What really makes a big difference is travel time from the school. TJ is tough for kids who live very far away, no doubt about it. We live closer, so the travel time wasn't as bad as some. [/quote]
