[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child who just graduated from TJ having a wonderful experience for 4 years. Don't listen to the internet rumors. Some posters here critical of TJ openly admitted they don't even have children let alone kids at TJ.

Unfortunately the school board injected the toxicity into this school by pitting one "group" against another. It's sickening that some pro FCPS posters are attacking TJ students and parents to justify their support to an ill advised policy. Leave the kids out of this.

Please use this thread to post positives about TJ which has many. If you are critical of TJ kids, there are quite a few other threads that you can spread your hatred, rumors and innuendos.[/quote]

One doesn’t have to have children, or children at TJ, to have a deep understanding of the environment at TJ.

Having [b]been[/b] a child at TJ should be enough.

If you have never [b]been[/b] a child at TJ, and instead have only heard about the version of TJ that your kids want to let you know about, kindly take a seat. You don’t know what you’re talking about, and you never will.[/quote]

+100000000. There are many things about the TJ environment that are wonderful - especially if you are a part of the dominant ethnic group - but the version of it that kids present to their parents is highly sanitized and in most cases, the kids have no idea that what they are doing is problematic.[/quote]

And why would the kids want to sanitize their experience?

I think it’s the parents who sanitize the experience to tamper the guilt. [/quote]

Can't it be both?[/quote]

It can, but highly unlikely. You’d have to have a majority student population who is so emotionally in tune and submissive to their parents perceived desires that they’d hide all of their own feelings to perfection for fear of disturbing the parents’ peace of mind.

Maybe a handful are like that, but definitely not em mass. [/quote]

I don’t know. In my experience with TJ kids, they are people pleasers, first and foremost with their parents.[/quote]
