[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Loudoun and have two kids attending TJ.  They are doing as well as other TJ students from Fairfax if not better.  There are 50 to 70 kids from Loudoun each year accepted to TJ.  There are about 200 to 250 Loudoun students attending TJ each year (from Freshman to Senior).  There are multiple buses from Loudoun to TJ each day.  Most of students who have problem with their school work because they lack of time management, not the commuting distance.

What time do they leave the house in the morning and what time do they get home at night?[/quote]

The last bus leaves from Stone Bridge HS at 7:00AM and the activities bus return to Stone Bridge HS at about 7:00PM if no game.[/quote]

Jesus that's awful[/quote]

My kid could not physically handle that.  Time management would not be the issue.[/quote]

My 8th grader has a tough time with the current 6:30 am to 4:30 pm late bus days in FCPS.  [/quote]

My DD had a tough time in high school.  Getting bus at 6:25, so being up by 5:50 AM, bus at 6:25, school until 2:30, then volleyball practice every day at 5 until 7:00 PM, and being driven home by 7:30.  Sept, Oct, Nov.  And Game nights out until 11:00 PM many times.

And they wonder why no one wants to do this as junior and senior.

It is grueling and way over the top.  I don't know how other children do this with the 1 hour to 2 hours homework daily.  She tried for 2 years but no way after that.  It was just too much.[/quote]
