[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't necessarily think TJ prepares students for UVA and W&M better than say typical AP classes in a base school. 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]

Success in life for many doesn't mean following the easiest path.  My kid decided on her own she wanted to go to TJ and she applied and got in.  We told her that she'd have to work much harder than if she went to her base school Oakton but she wasn't phased.  She has enjoyed the challenge and the hard work and the friendships she's made with classmates.  She may end up "only going" to UVA but she never doubts she made the right choice choosing TJ.  My other child chose to stay at Oakton and for her that was the right choice.  [/quote]
