[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I hear you. I live not too far away though not Vienna. A year after moving in, I thought I'd invite some Mom acquaintances out. It was my birthday. I was inviting them. Eight to a nearby restaurant. There was good food, drinks. I thought we'd all loosen up and get to know each other. Laugh. Connect. Nope, it was the same talk. Same talk as always, teachers, AAP, getting into TJ. No fun. No fun at all even adding alcohol and music.[/quote]

Must be your group and the people you attract. Not a lot of parents send their kids to TJ from Vienna. It's too far. They do private or local schools. I've had two discussions about TJ in the 20 years I've lived here and I'm one of the moms that OP wouldn't like. It's a good school and worth looking into but only for the right kid. I think that's pretty normal for any part of Virginia since there are Governor's schools all over the state.

The funny thing is when I go to other school districts and talk to moms I meet through activities or FCPS, there is way more talk about TJ and other high-achieving draws than in Vienna where there is more money and people don't have to strive too hard. Many more strivers especially of other races. They didn't get the memo that it's cool to look like you don't care about academics.[/quote]

Dear god the racism at the end.  I love Vienna so much but geez you’re embarrassing us.[/quote]

That would be you not being comfortable with the fact that Vienna has more white people than other areas of DC. You are projecting again.[/quote]

Please stop.  Cringe cringe cringe. [/quote]

No. Go to any FCPS regional meeting and you will meet parents who simply do not care about the mental health effects of TJ to the same level as OP. Of any race. Nor do they make issues about race. In fact, they just changed the rules of that school so more regions could get in easier so it's not the pariah of schools in other districts that OP thinks it is. I'm not saying TJ is good or bad, but Vienna parents do not place a larger emphasis on this school compared to any other district in FCPS.[/quote]
