[quote=Anonymous]Thank you for sharing PP. TJ parent and this is interesting. It seems like every parent says that TJ is a great fit, and there was no pressure to attend and some kids are miserable but their kid is a great fit. I feel this way, and have said to my kid that if he is unhappy, please go back to his base school.  And he is so insistent he stay. But I can see him being too proud to walk away. My younger DD says she is applying for class of 2022, and I'm concerned. I think many parents are trying to do the right thing and struggling.

Please, please consider doing an I attend TJ AMA on here.  Decision for c/o 2021 come out soon and I think that parents tell other parents what TJ is like. But it would be very valuable for you to tell parents.  Because most of us know what our kids want us to know. So, if you have time, think about it.

Also, if you know anyone who is willing, it would be great if groups of 3-4 kids each middle school could go back to their old middle school each spring and meet with admitted incoming freshmen with no adults around and give their honest impressions.  Just putting that out there if anyone is looking for an outreach project. I would have loved that for my kid. And I offer him to any parent I know with a kid applying to talk to the kid without an adult around about what to expect.

I think TJ has a lot to offer. But I think it can also do better. I agree with you that they seem to take bright kids who work hard and flunk their math and Bio quizzes because ??? In my dream world, TJ ditches grades. All the kids their are motivated enough.  There has to be a better way.

Good luck. I think you feel bad now because every kid is amazing, and you are missing that even a below average kid in the middle of super amazing is amazing.

So please-- AMA??[/quote]
