[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ always does lots of group projects. My kids didn’t have a problem with other students pulling their weight but they attended before the admissions changes.[/quote] My child attended before the admissions changes and frequently had this problem. She’d be the only girl in a group of four and it was not unusual for her to all the organizing for the project and typically a lot of the actual work also. A lot of the boys were used to their moms doing a lot of planning for them- for example, my child would get phone calls from the moms of the boys to schedule meetings for the group. So, yes, this has always been an issue at TJ. I do think that high school is a great time for kids to learn to work this way with others. I imagine that the boys my child worked with probably had an easier time in college because of their experiences with group projects at TJ. [/quote]
