[quote=Anonymous]Interesting. I was talking to my kid this morning about his transition to TJ and his experience has been the opposite. He thought he'd be studying from the moment he got home until 10 pm every night and so far that hasn't been the case. I worry he is not putting in enough effort (he tends to do the minimum possible and not push himself with homework... very high ambition but doesn't seem to have the work ethic to back it up).  His grades are all As so far but he's had very few assessments so I'm waiting anxiously to see how things look when he's got a few more real tests and assignments under his belt.

He doesn't seem to love his teachers so I wasn't sure if TJ was living up to his expectations or if it wasn't as "special" as he thought it would be (i.e., just school...).  He said it was the opposite... like school but better. He really likes the long lunches on Mondays and the fact that there's only one lunch... also likes 8th period, likes the IBET model, and it hasn't been as much work as he was imagining. Hope this sticks! [/quote]
