[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ is relentlessly hard for 99% of the kids there. The college admission results seem great but Burnout is common. If I could do it over I would not let my DC attend. However, my DC would still choose TJ but would do things in a different way. Not sure what they mean exactly. The moral of the story is to talk to TJ students instead of parents. Their tips will help your kid tremendously. Good luck![/quote]

Comments like these are anecdotal since the posters' sample size is typically 1 or 2.  Kids who are done with TJ are also biased in favor of TJ and don't have a point of reference to opine otherwise.  Reality is this.. if your kid got into TJ on their own, without a lot of prep, etc. they deserve to be there.  If they are intelligent AND hard working AND resilient, TJ is for them.  If they are into sports or other such non-academic pursuits and will miss those in HS, TJ is likely not for them.  If their grades are such that they will end up in the bottom 25-30% of TJ, TJ is not for them either.  They will have a better life and outcomes at base.[/quote] Someone has to be in the bottom 25-30%, it’s called having a range of abilities. [/quote]
