[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid decided not to go. Didn't have a lot of friends going, commute was long, and didn't like the over competitive vibe of the kids from middle school. Love the 8th period club time and the research programs. The electives were cool. But it is a huge time commitment and life is less stressful without the commute. [/quote]

Friend circle is always changing. Commute is a real issue. Why don't make TJ boarding school or provide boarding option.[/quote]

Public schools offering bus transportation to attend TJ, is a [b]privilege by itself[/b], one that many hardworking students in developing countries can only dream of.

As a child, I, along with friends from my village, chose to walk to an elementary school in the next village simply because it had a teacher who taught English alongside the regular subjects in our local language. The walk took us across dusty dirt roads and through rice fields, often under the blazing sun or during unexpected downpours. Yet, our passion for learning English made the journey feel worthwhile. Though we had the option of attending the school in our own village, our determination to learn a global language inspired us to choose the more difficult path every single day.[/quote]
