[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Excellent choice. As an alum of TJ’s first graduating class (‘89), he has been local to Northern Virginia and has seen its entire history firsthand. FCPS did very well here in bringing in a person who understands the positives and negatives of TJ’s culture over the last 35 years.

Critically, as a former TJ football player (and I believe wrestler), he fully understands the importance of activities and athletics in the total student experience. [/quote]
After the recent years of continuous decline, today is a new day for TJ with renewed hope for restoring merit, academic excellence, and indepth focus on STEM.

You're horribly mistaken. TJ is better than ever now and less toxic, too! College outcomes for the class of 2025 are amazing![/quote]

You have no idea what the college outcomes are for the class of 2025.
There is a large population of kids at Tj that would be better off at their base school.  This has always been the case for a small population of kids at TJ.  Now it's at least a quarter of the kids, probably more.
TJ has historically been high pressure and high stress.  
But it was never toxic.
Now there is less stress and less pressure because the wide range of academic ability means that the gradient for performance is more gradual.
It used to be that a single bad grade that dropped you from a 3.95 to a 3.85 might drop you from top 5% to top 20% because the GPAs were so bunched up at the top.
Now the GPAs are more spread out because of the wider variability in academic ability.[/quote]
