It is like college in the sense that there is virtually no instruction; kids have to learn on their own.  I do not see that as a good thing.  The work approach is similar to HS:  In college, one is usually not graded on homework, but rather tests.  At TJ, that is not the case.  An earlier poster wrote about the vast amounts of work required.  In college, the work is suggested but not required.  I do not know how TJ grades, but if they require you to do HW, and grade it, and include that in your grade, it is not like college.

TJ has brilliant students....but so does Madison, Langley, Woodson, Oakton, Marshall, McLean etc.  TH teachers do not have to work hard because the teachers will get it.

Advantages of TJ:
No bullying for being smart
Brilliant Peers
No time spent prepared for SOL's.

Disadvantages:
Workload
Stress
Poor quality teaching
Travel Time
Imbalanced school-life priorities
1/2 the kids will finish in the bottom half instead of in the top 5% at the base school. [/quote]

Do you have a kid at TJ?[/quote]
