[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never met a person that went that didn't love it.  I'm sure there is, but they're unicorns.[/quote]

You haven't met my husband, who made it through well enough but will never send our kids there.[/quote]

Please ask your husband to do an AMA about TJ. Would love to hear his viewpoint.[/quote]

He would probably say the same old things like "too cut throat", "commute is too long", "want well rounded education", "too many Asians", "easier to get to good colleges from other HS".[/quote]

With the exception of the comment about Asians (which is racist and horrible), those are all perfectly valid reasons to not go to TJ.[/quote]

"too cut throat"  Not really, just bunch of smart and motivated kids so hopefully the good work ethic and ambition will rub off on your kids
"commute is too long"  No pain no gain, There is no free lunch
"want well rounded education"  You certainly get a well rounded education perhaps better than most places
"too many Asians" Nothing more to say
"easier to get to good colleges from other HS"  Not true. Easier to get into top 30 schools from TJ. In fact about 90% of the TJ grads will head off to top 30 schools. Can't say that about other high schools.[/quote]
