[quote=Anonymous][quote]Having gone to TJ, I know what they are missing out on. And I don't think the drawbacks (and there are many) are worth it. They'll be fine where they are mostly because they have educated parents and are well off, PP. That is the biggest factor in terms of performance on standardized tests and school performance for the bulk of children. I honestly don't care if my kids go to an ivy or follow my footsteps at Stanford or whatever. I care that they have a love of learning, are resilient, have a strong sense of security, and are healthy, balanced kids. I am putting my resources of cultivating this and fostering their innate talents. TJ just isn't a fit for my philosophy (and I say this as an alum -- I stand by my point, unless you teach there or [b]have went[/b], I don't think you truly know what it's like to attend.). [/quote] I seriously doubt this person have went to TJ. but the language ability here is typical of some TJ students "We have many first generation immigrants here ..." (that do not speak English very well but get 100% on the English testing) how? think about it. Hint -- its not because they are brilliant. One of the downsides of TJ. [/quote]
