[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ teacher, thank you for chiming in. Would you be willing to tell us (me) more about the workload at TJ?  There have been so many conflicting reports, ranging from "the same as base HS with AP" to "will suck the life out of you."

TJ would be the best match for my child academically and socially, but I don't want her to be completely burned out and drained.

Thank you![/quote]

I am not the teacher who posted, just a TJ parent, but I have to say the workload is very dependent on each individual student. Some will be able to do well academically, play three varsity sports, and be involved in a plethora of student activities to boot, because TJ is a perfect fit for their needs and interests. On the other extreme will be students who need to come home and do homework till the wee hours of the morning every day, with no time for sports, music, or other outside activities. Most are probably in the middle.

How the workload affects each student really depends on the student's interests and abilities and the student's ability to organize and manage time. I would look to see how my child is dealing with schoolwork now, in middle school. If the work is relatively easy now with time to be involved in outside, non- academic activities, then TJ might be a good fit.
