[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell me something I DON'T KNOW. Only the idiots would believe going to TJ means anything beyond college admission. [/quote]

I don't even think it necessarily helps there, TBH. (Source: I am a TJ alumna.)  Parents (and kids) really need to get back to the idea that TJ is its own educational experience, not any sort of stepping stone or guarantee.[/quote]

Thank you!  TJ parent here.  You go to TJ for a great education. You go to push yourself and explore your passions. You go for the peer group.  You do not go because it gets you into the “right college”. I hate at mindset. [/quote]

Completely agree!  There will be struggling kids and non struggling kids at every school. But if a kid loves STEM, let the kid be. Parents or kids who refuse to let kids try TJ are chickens. If you are that afraid of a slim possibility of failure, admit it, don’t blame on TJ culture being the reason. TJ culture is awesome. I said it. Yup. [/quote]
