[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have any stats on the % of TJ kids suffering from anxiety, depression, mental illness? I asked my niece in 11th grade, and she said, majority of the class. Doesn't sound right, at least I hope it isn't the case.[/quote]

Take anxiety off that list and the number gets a lot smaller.

TJ can be stressful and while the stress at the top has relaxed a bit because of somewhat more generous curves the stress at the bottom has increased exponentially as we see more and more kids just calling it quits and going back to their base school.  That's not an easy decision to make for any kid, especially not for a kid that came from a small pond thinking they were a big fish.

Going to TJ doesn't guarantee anything other than rigor, but people have bought into this idea that if you can get through TJ, you are set for life or something.
People place too much value on the brand.
I think places like TJ are important for our civilization but i can see the argument some people are making that what FCPS is doing to destroy TJs brand is the best thing that can happen[/quote]
