[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its not a school.
Its a program run by cheaters and nutjobs.[/quote]

Why anyone would entrust their children's education to a place like the St James blows my mind. All to chase the possibility of playing pro? Gross[/quote]
Many small minds won’t understand.[/quote]

Former NCAA D1 All American here. I must have a small mind. It only made sense to me to have athletics work for me than have the system work me. My excellent high school and teachers were the difference in my life. Building sound habits in college Is a difficult task. St James does not make sense to me. But I am small minded.

Appreciate your ability to recognize your own small mindedness.  Things are different in the 21st century.

D1 athletes have the opportunity to dedicate their days to training and getting their bodies ready for the next level at TSJ.  Some seniors may want to get to college by January and load up on online courses they can finish at a faster pace in addition to getting the physical training they need.  [b]Hopefully they will also be prepared academically for which ever college they attend[/b]

They won't be.[/quote]
Why not?

Most of the transfers came from other private schools and some came from other public schools.  Their previous schools should already given them the scholastic fundamentals to succeed in higher education.  [/quote]

Most other private schools play the same game, so academic requirements for recruited athletes are much lower than general students. Most private schools do a lot of hand holding for the general students to begin with and it is even worse for the recruited athletes.[/quote]

It always shocks me how many people think that most private schools are providing better teaching and education. You are paying to have more people helping your child along and resources, which results in students who are used to being babysat. The main benefits you get is you don't end up with as many disruptive students and all of your classmates come from similar means, so you have a network you are building for the future. Most higher-end private school students in this area would flounder hilariously at a school like TJ, let alone any of the altletics-focused students.[/quote]
