[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of kids don't drop out because of grades. If they move to the base school, they would be placed according to the grades they already got at TJ. That was the reason my DS is still at TJ. We just have one more year of this craziness and he can't wait to have a good night's sleep.[/quote]

That doesn’t make sense. My base school is opt in for honors and AP/IB classes. Math would carry over I imagine. If my TJ kid is miserable we will transfer back to the base school and I think the biggest loss will be not having the social bonding freshman year. But if she said no to the offer she’s never have another chance to give it a try and see if she liked it. [/quote]

Once you finish a year with bad grades, it's not an easy decision to move to base school. If you move, you will move with your bad grades. Many parents prefer staying back at TJ, that way they at least have the TJ brand. We are in the same boat. DC has gotten a majority of B's with few C's in the last three years. His WGPA is below 4. At this point, we are happy that he is not failing. He may not go to Harvard but he will be happy where ever he goes. At least he will not be at TJ![/quote]
