[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read between the lines if your kid is asian and you like the whole tiger mom thing/pure academics TJ is great
If you are non-asian or non tiger mom asian really think twice about having your kid go there
College acceptance rates are similar for top people at base hs and TJ

Non-tiger (white) mother here with 2 (white) TJ kids who love the school. And, no, college acceptance rates are not the same as our base HS, but that's not why they chose to go there.

And I wish these anti-TJ posters would find something better to do with their time.[/quote]

Another non-tiger (white TJ mom) but with only 1 (white) kid, so perhaps that doesn't give me standing in your eyes, but I very much disagree with you.  Posting about the heavy homework load, or the long commute times, or the real impact that attending TJ has on an entire family is not anti-TJ.  It's fact.

My child does like the school and doesn't want to be anywhere else, but going there does come with a heavy price on a number of fronts. It's a great school, but it is not a perfect school by any means.  I think you do a real disservice to families who are trying to discern if this is the right school for their child if you think anything but a glowing, rah-rah report is anti-TJ. Glad your family has had an idyllic experience, but I think you can tell that is not universal.  Nor would it be at ANY high school.[/quote]
