[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would put my kid through all the preps needed to get into these kinds of programs - even if he did not make it, or choose not to go for it.

Why? Because I think that any kind of educational prep and practice is never wasted. It will be helpful in some form or another.  I also do not think there is anything wrong in prepping for academics or exercising to become fit and healthy. Same thing.[/quote]

Exactly the opposite. Every hour 6th graders in our neighborhood spend at Sunday afternoon TJ prep is an hour they are not spending jumping on the trampoline or playing capture the flag with the other neighborhood kids. [/quote]

+1 from a math teacher. Every year I hear sad stories from at least a couple students. They tell me how their parents want them them to go to TJ but they want to stay and go to our high school. Stop with the prep classes.  They will be accepted if they are meant to go to TJ. [/quote]

Wouldn't that be a little narrow minded! Other kids look sad to you because they don't follow your child's play schedule.  Stop this and that classes? Are you making any sense telling people what they should and should not do?  are you OK?[/quote]
