If you have a kid at TJ, you know this is killing the school.  Pressure, stress, an impossibly heavy workload because PARENTS demand it (if the kid isn't working 24/7, it's not hard enough) and rampant cheating with zero consequences. It isn't good for the students or the school.

[b]Look at the TJ student survey. The percentage of kids reporting parental physical and emotional abuse and a number of other stress and MH related problems is significantly higher at TJ than FCPS as a whole[/b]. [/quote]

Where is this survey? can you provide a link.[/quote]

FCPS Youth Survey. TJ has higher than average levels of bullying by a parent, higher than average racial/cultural bullying, much higher than average levels of stress and much, much lower than average getting enough sleep. These are not good things.

Thanks for the link. It is very interesting, and in fact the survey shows TJ students on average stands better on all other counts except the three pointed above. Considering drugs, alchohol, depression, early sex, and on and on are more dangerous this is a good indication for TJ. I am not saying that the three issues you mentioned are to be taken ligtly, however, you need place it in overall context. Lack of sleep, got to do with school work load, and here one can agree/disagree how much is appropriate for a school like TJ. [/quote]
