[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ being sports focused is a total joke.  TJ sports is mostly recreational, more about fitness and team building than any sort of competition.  Only kids good with academics can afford to allocate time for sports.  It is hard to enjoy sports when sitting on a ton of Cs and Ds.  [/quote]

By this do you mean it's not cut-throat to get onto the teams like it is in some of the other FCPS HSs? Yeah, I'd agree that's true - and a great thing. DD is a year-round swimmer and has been since 8. She still may not have made the cut at our base school. But she's been a strong swimmer for TJ all 4 years and gotten to enjoy the fun of being on a HS team. I think it's way too hard to make the team at most HSs since our HSs are gigantic. TJ offers a lot more opportunities for "normal" athletes to participate and for kids to even try new things, rather than all the team slots goign to people who are the best of the best & have been doing that sport since ES.

And yes, sure, you won't have time for sports if you have a lot of Cs and Ds. If that's the case though, TJ's not really working out for you. [/quote]
