Posts of data and analysis are fine.  They may be wrong or misleading, but they open debate.
Petulant comments like "TJ is a joke" or TJ's or MMadison's acceptances are underwhelming" are simply twitish.  And responding to these comments is foolish, so I apologize.  [/quote]

+1.  Parent of a TJ senior and Madison freshman here.  TJ is a great school but certainly not the right fit for all high achieving kids.  My younger one who would have been destroyed by the workload and stress is happy at Madison.  My older one has embraced the TJ experience and has loved it but has a couple friends who have been pretty miserable there.   The older one has been accepted to and will likely attend UVA and my younger one hopefully will as well when her time comes.  My advice to parents whose kid has to make a decision between TJ and a base HS:  don't make the choice based on perceived prestige but instead know your kid and help them make the right HS choice for who they are.  HS should be a memorable and enjoyable 4 years.[/quote]
