[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Be prepared your your family's entire life to revolve around TJ. We were not prepared for that at all. The kids at TJ are great; the grind and the homework load stink. I feel like we hardly ever see my child because he's either at school or doing homework. (School includes all the extracurricular activities, which are a must so they have some social time.)[/b]

Also, keep your checkbook handy.  TJ is always asking for money. I have never walked in that school without being solicited for something--booster clubs, labs, etc. Forgot those "We Came for the Sports" bumper stickers, they need a "My Kid and My Money go to TJ" sticker.

That said, my child insists it's been a good experience.  As a parent, I wish we had gone with our neighborhood high school for a more balanced experience.

+1 We found this also. We do not see much of our DS, and we have to make many exceptions to chores b/c he is always tired and behind.[/quote]\

Do you have kids at another other FCPS HS? They all are looking to finance activities due to FCPS under funding (or wrong funding).

TJ has been great for my kid.  We're from the western part of the county and my kids were in AAP so the "diversity" was the norm.  It's been no issue for my kids.  I'm not sure they even notice at this point.  BTW the student MC's at iNite did quite a number of pretty funny and insightful jokes about the TJ culture.[/quote]
