[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a high school, people. A high school.[/quote] A high school where nearly all classes are taught at the college level, and with a college level workload. And by junior-senior year, many kids are doing graduate level research. Many kids who have the academic smarts to manage this do not have the pre-frontal cortex development or emotional maturity. It is also *just* a high school where the expectations are incredibly high. You hear that a kid is from TJ, and you expect them to do better that *just* GMU, JMU, VA tech, WM-- or even UVA. The picture of a "successful" kid from any other HS and a "successful" kid from TJ is very different. TJ Kids are expected to do amazing things-- by their peers, their families, and community as a whole. "Just" going to a good college and getting good grades isn't enough. It's a lot of pressure.
