[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not everyone belongs to TJ, those who don’t and get pushed in simply suffer, whether they are pushed in by overzealous parents or overzealous politicians.  A differential equation doesn’t care what color of skin you have.  Either  you can solve it or you can’t. [/quote]

You don't need to take differential equations in high school to succeed as a STEM major in college.  TJ's goal should be to prepare high school kids for succeeding in STEM majors in college, not to make high school into college.  I think that focus on making high school more like college instead of preparing kids to succeed in college is where TJ has gone off track and so is failing all except a small segment of the FCPS student body.  Those who want a simulated college experience in high school should pay to have that privately and should not be able to use a public school for that purpose to the detriment of others.  [/quote]

Yes! This! [/quote]

If you don’t want to solve differential equation?  then why do you even want to go to TJ?

I don't want my Kid to solve the differential equations, and I don't want your Kid to solve them too, SAD[/quote] DD takes DE class at TJ now and tells me every day how she loves it. If she had to go to her base school, she probably could have graduated after 10th grade. Maybe that’s what other advanced kids should do in the future: if they don’t win the TJ lottery, just go to the base school and graduate earlier. [/quote]

Going to college at 15, 16?  May not be mature enough or emotionally ready though.

Some people just can’t seem to understand.  There are actually lots of kids at TJ who just love these kind of stuff and genially enjoying it. These kids need TJ.
