[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL at thinking that being smart enough to be at TJ would mean handling the academics at a Big 3 easily. They’d handle the workload, and many would do just as well academically. But having gone to TJ, I can tell you that a big chunk of its students are made of one-dimensional superstars in science and math who would be lucky to earn Bs in a rigrorous Big 3 humanities or social science class. The skill set to excel at TJ doesn’t work everywhere, in academics or in life.[/quote]

Wait, so you went to TJ and took humanities at Big 3?[/quote]

I have a child that went to TJ and another child that went to Potomac .  TJ teaches my child to excel in STEM but that's it.  My child went onto a good college, UVA, but while DC has a good job, DC just does not have the social skill and soft skill to be "management" material.  DC hated me for not sending DC to Potomac school.

The DC that attended Potomac, also went onto a good college, U of Penn.  DC has a great career and is in a high paying management position because of the social and soft skill DC was taught at Potomac.

I am working at an engineering company that there are about 6 people, out of 20, in my department that attended TJ.  All of them, myself included, has to report to a boss who graduated from Sidwell Friend.  His major in college was history.  Go figure.[/quote]
