[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's pretty much consistently reiterated by our coach, focus on academics first, sports next.  One of the good players on freshman team, went on academic break, and never got back on the team, returned to base school after fall season. [b]You really cannot take TJ academics for granted like base school.[/b]    [/quote]

If academics and college options are more important to you than athletics, this is your mindset, plan and goal at all schools. [/quote]
[b]What TJ coaches appear to be stressing is that meeting minimum TJ graduation requirements comes before sports.[/b] At base schools, coaches are more flexible since academic demands are lower, like calculus not being required, only three basic science classes, just two credits world language, etc.[/quote]

TJ coaches do not have a single clue about TJ's "minimum graduation requirements".

The number of things people say here that betray their complete lack of understanding of TJ is *staggering*.[/quote]

They either do not have kids at TJ or their kids do not participate in any sports.
Only about half the kids play on a team at TJ.

They may think the coaches are part of the faculty or something.  
It's just ignorant people saying ignorant things.[/quote]
