[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ is a destination school.  Korean families (from S. Korea usually with just the mom) move into the area just so their kid can attend TJ.  It's better known internationally than any private school around here.[/quote]

That's funny.  I wouldn't say that TJ is known nationally, let alone internationally.  [/quote]

Probably b/c you are not Korean.  It's certainly well known in S. Korea with lots of newspaper and magazine articles about it.  Asian parents generally know the best public and private high schools in the US just as well as they know Harvard, Yale.... But you are probably right about TJ not being known nationally, Americans don't pay much attention to education in general.[/quote]

Exaggerate much? And in so many different ways. You sound like an absolute ass.[/quote]

Why so defensive?  I have nothing to gain in this and am only telling you what I know.  My kids are all under 5 and we don't live in the area that feeds into TJ.

I am Korean and when we moved to DC prekids the first question out of many of my Korean friends including my elderly parents who live in S Korea was whether we were going to send our kids to TJ.  [/quote]

I can verify this is true. It's common knowledge in Fairfax County and we are not Asian. [/quote]
