[quote=Anonymous]My DC is at TJ and we turned down Sidwell, St. Albans and Gonzaga a few years back. We have no connections so I can only assume he was accepted at these because of his test scores. I wanted private, but DC choose TJ. I have to differ with the view many have here that TJ is brutal. It's not. But it is a lot of work, so if you have a student who is not 100% self motivated to work 2-5 hours a day, then it is absolutely not the right choice. I have a student who wrote his essay to get in about his sport and doesn't take many stem classes, he is very happy there. I think if I had sent him to one of the privates he would have more time to socialize and so I believe those PP that talk about social development have a good point. But that's not my goal. I'm not enough of a helicopter mom that I want to mold his personality to make him into a boss or a worker or anything in particular. He will be who he will be. [/quote]
