[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I don't necessarily think TJ prepares students for UVA and W&M better than say typical AP classes in a base school.[/b] I think students from both high schools can do equally well. Again, I'm not sure I see a clear advantage of having gone to TJ if both kids end up at the same college and do fine. Seems to me TJ just causes a lot of stress and extra work before the real work begins in college. Definitely not how I would have wanted to spend my high school years.[/quote]

How would you know this since your kid is not in TJ  :? It is interesting to note how some people like to argue going to TJ is not useful just because their kids are not getting admission. Sounds more like sour grapes. Having said that, TJ parents with the experience can always question this, sometimes as a TJ parent I wonder about this myself, but that is just different from someone without a horse in the race dissing the school out of spite.

No, it’s absolutely not sour grapes. I don’t have kids who are even in high school yet. I just worry about the stress levels of kids at TJ. So I ask...is it worth it? I felt very prepared for college and I didn’t go to TJ.[/quote]
