[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those interested in Humanities should take advantage of the IB program. TJ will not be fun for those interested in Humanities.[/quote]

These are 14 year olds!! What part of this do you people not understand?

14 year olds do however know if they have interest in STEM (how many times do I have to repeat this).  So why should they be forced to go to their base schools if they want to pursue their CURRENT interests? So what if they major in humanities later on.

This is what is wrong with parents these days.  They worry too much about the future and never look at what their kids interests are in the present.  Follow your child's interest not your own.[/quote]

Here is an interesting discussion related to math sequence:

This is why taking Geometry as a 9th grader at TJ may not be such a good idea.[/quote]

Why? to stay competitive with the other kids? I don't get why that would matter as long as they are bringing good grades.  [/quote]

Because the kid is likely to be in the bottom 30% with virtually no advanced math or science courses and end up taking calculus AB which is not what TJ kids should be taking in senior year. College options will be limited to places like GMU, ODU etc. after struggling through 4 years of TJ graduation requirements.[/quote]
