[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are different motivations for wanting to attend TJ. My child wants to be with other kids who love math. We want him to be at a school that will challenge him. Both DS and parents are fine with the idea that might mean he earns Bs instead of As in some subjects. We won't know how he will do until he attends. He is bright and motivated but has never been challenged, outside of math competitions. TJ could be a rude a wakening. It could be the perfect fit. Either way, both parties, our child and the parents, understand that it won't be easy and think that it will be good for him.

Personally, I am fine with B's that are earned. There is nothing wrong with working at something and earning a B. That is not what I expect, DS is smart and very capable. He took a different lnguage in MS, he has done exceptionally well in math competitions. Now he is preparing to attend a school filled with kids like him, who are smart and motivated, and we will support him on his journey.

I suspect that he will dow ell, as long as he makes his best effort. I like that he will be challenged, he needs that to help him develop a strong work ethic and to really learn how to study. I appreciate that he is willing to challenge himself. We are excited for next year. [/quote]

Sounds like a well thought out approach. B’s will impact college options but you know that and are ok with it.[/quote]

Suppose there are a few "C's" thrown in.  Would that make a difference in your perspective?
