[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope most people in AAP do not make a big deal of TJ, as then 80-90% of the AAP kids will be dissapointed.  (2500 AAP / grade vs. 480 TJ per class).

Frankly, I do not know what my DD will be interested in when she hits HS, and I do not want her going to TJ.  I do not want her spending over an hour per day in transit, vs walking to Madison HS.  [/quote]
This is a question of interests and priorities. If you DD turns out to be interested in math or science and had an opportunity to attend TJ, and is okay with sitting in the bus for two hours a day (by the way, some kids get their homework done on the bus), you probably will change your mind.[/quote]

Maybe it is because I am not ethnically korean or indian.  I am 3rd generation american, and know that what happens in high school really does not matter.  Because, the community colleges have open enrollment....and from there, you can transfer into a good school, and go  to a great career.

TJ is a great school, but it does not matter after finishing HS.[/quote]
