[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is just so obvious from these posts that the solution is to convert TJ back into a regular school and de-escalate the AAP and magnet-driven culture at TJ. TJ itself is like a lab experiment designed to reveal how cut-throat and competitive parents and students can be. We've seen the results and now we can write up the conclusions and move on to trying something less corrosive that attracts fewer obsessive types and produces fewer cheaters. [/quote] +1 But then you will hear all kinds of hollering from the parents who say their child is SOOO ahead of other students that they can't possibly be educated anywhere else. Guess what? Take a bus (even an FCPS bus) to GMU and get some special programs there for those who are finished with calculus as a freshman in HS. This sort of situation (as it continues to snowball at TJ) is not a good use of public funding. Put the administrative ego aside and make a different program that is less toxic.[/quote]
