[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My spouse and sibling-in-law both attended TJ. Both were successful, went to top colleges, and have high incomes now in super striver professions.

Neither would send their kids to TJ. In fact I spend $$$$ now to keep DCs in privates at my spouse’s insistence (and in some ways to my chagrin). The pressure cooker sucks. [/quote]

DP.  I went to TJ and absolutely hope my children will attend one day.[/quote]

I went to TJ and really hope that my ES aged DD kids is interested unless there are major reforms.  Have you been to the school or interacted with the students in the past 5-10 years?  It’s incredibly sad, but it’s only a shadow of the TJHSST I graduated from. Our neighbor’s daughter graduated last year and the mom said several times what a sexiest place it was for her white daughter. She was able to get into a T20 university, but had some serious mental health challenges as a result of the isolation from kind, supportive female friends.  Not worth it.

PP here, yes I have lots of recent familiarity with TJ.  Honestly to me it seems pretty much the same as when I went there, with the exception of additional state-mandated graduation requirements that make it harder to pursue some electives.  But that comes from the state, not TJ directly.[/quote]

Wait, you mean the EPF class? That’s the only real “state mandated” change in the past 10-15 years.   EPF can be taken over a 1-2 week period during the summer or over the school year.  [/quote]
