[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Find your liaison ASAP (especially for folks in counties that don’t send as many kids, like Falls Church, Arlington etc) - ours was an amazing resource. Very grateful for good advice and reality checks we got. DC is super happy at TJ (working very hard, but happily engaged, and finally found their tribe). [/quote]

Please stop saying your TJ kids found their “tribe.”  It’s offensive on many levels.[/quote]

What alternative word would you suggest that captures the same meaning / connotation?

The connotation is part of what makes it offensive.  Be better.[/quote]

Different poster here:  this is what is off putting about some parents. When someone legitimately pointed out something you said that was offensive, you “bat your eyes” and pretend you can’t think of another word that captures the same meaning. Gmab. What’s worse though, is when the responder then told you that the connotation is what’s offensive, you didn’t write back saying you could see how that could be offensive and you’re sorry. No, you didn’t need to, but it makes me wonder if you’re the tj parent poster who writes often on this board about how tj is for really smart kids. Yep, it is. Nope, we don’t need to be schooled in it Multiple times. [/quote]
