[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8th grader is in Algebra 1 and thinks Math would be tough at TJ, especially since calculus is required. How to convince them to accept the offer? Is it that difficult from base school?[/quote] Your kid is right. It is hard. It is taught and graded in a way that is reportedly harder than the same class at a base school. Plz do not try to talk your kid into going. They need to want to be there and want the challenge for it to work out well for them. - mom of a TJ kid and TJ booster but realistic it’s not for everyone. [/quote] So glad it was for your kid. [/quote] It’s for one of mine but I know it won’t be a good fit for my other one. The second kid also gets good grades (As and B+s in honors classes) but math doesn’t come super easily to them and they aren’t quite as self motivated. I am not trying to be snotty about it. It’s just being truthful that TJ will not be a positive experience for all kids. But for certain kids it’s a great one. [/quote]
