[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is accepted into TJ for class of 2018 but I am not going to let him attend TJ for several reasons:

1- It is very likely that when he goes to TJ, it will take him at least 7 hours a day to do his assignments.  Unless he can finish his assignments in less than 3 hours, he is not going to TJ,
2- He needs to spend 75 minutes a day on the piano.  He has been doing that since he was 4 years old.  If he has to spend 7 hours on school homework and assignment, he will abandon piano,
3- He recently starts learning guitar and spends about 30 minutes a day practice.  Again, he will have to give that up if he attends TJ
4- He is also a pretty good athlete in both golf and swimming.  He spends 90 minutes a day on either golf or swimming and more on weekends.  He will have to give those up if he decides to TJ,

Nothing against TJ but if a kid can not finish his school assignments in less than 3 hours, he/she will have to give up pretty much all ECs for TJ.  That's something I am not prepared to do with my child.  He will attend Langley HS instead.

Best of luck to those parents with kids @TJ.[/quote]
My high school Boyfriend went to TJ. He had no issue getting assignments accomplished in 3 hours.[/quote]
