[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re in a MS that sent dozens to TJ last year. The adm didn’t provide much support to kids aspiring to go to TJ, other than mentioning TJ application in an email and having TJ staff coming to school once talking to kids and parents. The principal and math teachers discourage kids taking summer geometry but a few still did. STEM clubs were mostly run by parents. In fact the MS never sent more than 10 kids every year before it became a AAP center last year. Bottom line is that MS doesn’t play a role as important as the student body does in terms of TJ application and acceptance.[/quote]

PP here -Yes, but the fact that they even mentioned TJ in the school's email is more than the nothingness we received. Heck, they still don't even mention in that there is an honor roll. I get emails separately from the teacher running it and my child gets a notice in homeroom. If your child is not on the honor roll, you don't even know it's available and something for kids to reach for.[/quote]
