[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wrote this on the other TJ/private thread. If your kid is a math/compsci genius, then send to TJ. Otherwise, send to private.[/quote] Perhaps, but they also have to be hungry. Our friend's DS loved math. Was happy and thriving in the advanced classes such that they decided to send her to TJ, where her love of math was destroyed by the spirit-crushing competitive nature of the student body who treated every homework, quiz and test like the Hunger Games. The girl will now head to university and swears to take as little math as possible to get her degree in anything but STEM.[/quote] Which is why it is qualified with "GENIUS." I had 2 TJ kids - one stronger than average in math and one a math genius who was taking calculus in 9th grade. The first had an experience like your friend's DS and the second thrived at TJ. [u]If you can easily afford it[/u], then for most kids the big 3 private school will be the better experience.[/quote]
