[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ is a special format of hell for the bottom half of the class  [/quote]
Explain please. Not enough info.[/quote]

It's a lot of work but colleges only admit a certain number of students per school, no matter how good the school, so if you end up in the bottom half of TJ you are worse off than shining at your average high school or going to a private where not everyone is a stem superstar. [/quote]

TJ mom here: Yes. The upper level Va state schools accept a lot of TJ students, but the competition is fierce b/c not everyone at TJ is rich or gets a scholarship to an Ivy. And it is a LOT of work and dedication. My student would have been better off at the base school. And had a better life.[/quote]

Kids would have had a better life!!  Wow, that is an honest mom. God love you, I'm sure it's no comfort to admit that.  Luckily i am about to avoid that mistake.  Thanks for your strength of character in saying so.  Makes me feel i made the right decision.[/quote]
