[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I absolutely wouldn't force them.  TJ isn't for everyone and if the kid isn't fully in you are setting yourself up for failure.  Most kids will still excel at their local school.[/quote]

Some posters here will say things like Don't go but it's not because they believe this, but to create waitlist movement. I'd try to understand the students reasons for reluctance to better evaluate this. [/quote]

And some of us legitimately have experience, but enjoy your conspiracy theory.[/quote]

Yes, some of us have experience with pushy parents who will do anything to get their kid in like make up BS to create waitlist movement.[/quote]

I am a two timer TJ parent and TJ is every bit as tough as people say.  It's great for the right kid but the admissions process no longer selects kids that are most likely to succeed there.

It is not enough to just understand the material taught in class, you have to go the next step on your own.  If you perfectly matter the material taught in class but no further, you are getting a B- or C+ in math.

With that said, you can always return to your base school, that is ALWAYS an option and your freshman grades are the least consequential grades of your high school career.  [/quote]
