[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, brother... You TJ parents now calling your kids "Albert Einsteins"?? This is probably the worst thing about TJ - misguided self-worth. Give me a f'king break. [/quote]

I am the one who initially referenced Einstein, in the idea that he would not be admitted....it was students like Einstein, Feynman, etc that was the initial focus.  Frankly, and pompously, I will put myself in that group.  I went through FCPS before TJ existed...it was being formed.  I was told at the time, by multiple people (including high level math specialists, science specialists) that I was the target student....the kid that was not excelling in school in spite of being smart.

I regularly got A's on tests, but lost points for notebooks and homework.  I did not need to do it, and didn't.

Instead of doing sheets of 100 problems for a class, for example, I would rather write a computer program to help teach kids about things.  Instead of graphing 1000 points in radial coordinates, I did it on a computer -- got a zero on that assignment.

Oh, and at my high school -- a top FCPS school, I was the only student to get a 5 on the AP test for calculus.  But, my GPA was 2.4, and I was in the bottom half of my class.[/quote]
