[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did you accept a spot at TJ in the first place if an uw gpa around 3.8 is making you freak out and want to pull your kid back to base school?  Shouldn't it have been obvious that TJ is going to be a bad fit for parents who want their kids to get all As?[/quote]

The top 1/3rd of Freshman students typically achieve mostly As due to their strong proficiency in advanced math, English, and science from middle school. For them, they are just learning the new material that TJ courses teach. However, for others, particularly the bottom 1/3rd of the Freshman class, the experience can be stressful. They need to first catch up on what they should have mastered thoroughly in middle school, and then delve into the new TJ course material. This double workload leaves little time for sports or extracurricular activities, and put the student in a constant catchup mode. Without an entrance evaluation, it becomes challenging for parents or students to know their readiness for TJ upfront.  [/quote]
