[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ Parents - if your kid had a chance to go back and do it all again, would they?  If yes, what was one of their favorite parts about TJ?

Any tips or hints for success -- not just academically, but to have a positive experience there?[/quote]

Every kid there is a bit sore about the grading deflation at TJ.  They would be getting easy A's at their base school for the same honors or AP class, meanwhile the non-honors classes are still very hard (languages and e4ven PE, that's right, the frikking PE classes require study at TJ.  If they could just get rid of the grade deflation I think 60% of the negatives of attending TJ would disappear.

High school sports are far more accessible at TJ than almost anywhere else but sports are time consuming so you don't get the same participation you might at most schools.
With that said, sports are a very welcome benefit for attending TJ.

Try to get involved with clubs.  There are. so. many. clubs.  And if they don't have the one you are looking for, you can start one.[/quote]
