[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only thing that makes sense is second TJ. Specializing in an industry is ridiculous. Would they really do something so bizarre? I live basically next door to this school and have a 9th grader next year. I’d like it to be a TJ- I didn’t send any of my kids to TJ due to the insane commute. This would pull from all local HS easing enrollment more uniformly. As a regular high school it’s pretty small.[/quote] 100% agree. Specialization at that age so narrow is a terrible idea. This goes against any common sense or research on how to prepare our children. They need critical thinking and would benefit from challenging coursework. Our county is huge - 1 million and 180,000 student population. Loudon county has one academy for 83,000 student population. The Fx ratio is way off and we shouldn’t be turning children away from advanced academics that are capable of doing that. [/quote]
