[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing anout those who prep starting in young grades (not just the summer begore 8th grade) that is so unnerving to me is that their parents must be deciding that TJ is who they must be (as opposed to the kids themselves saying "I think I'd be interested in a challenging school like TJ." It seems to dismiss the kid's individuality in the equation of his or her life. As my kids are in upper elem and ms, I am realing how much they are their own persons....not mini-me. Hot-housing kids treats kids as though they are simply vessels for the parents' goals. This makes me sad for those who are "successful" at the task of getting into TJ after years of prepping. [/quote] Some kids fare better with closer guidance while others do better with less. There is no reason to judge these parents that want the best for their kids. Life will fix whatever is not working. [/quote]
