[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC decided to move back. Chem was just an example of the work required.  DC is finding out that Math at TJ is hard, even though curriculum is the same. Currently taking Math 4 ( pre-calculus) - not enjoying it. DC is frustrated as the material and HW assignments are perfectly fine - but the [b]quizzes are a step above in terms of difficulty etc. [/b]

No need to take that stress. And I am glad that DC took this decision on his own.

One issue my kid faced was that other math teachers were setting the tests. Her teacher was frustrated not knowing what these test setters were going to include in the test. Kids in the test setters' classes were better off as they'd covered the material.[/quote]

Wishing your kid a smooth transition.

More than anything quizzes and tests are quite a jump up from base HS. We have experience with both. At base the content was tested directly. If you read the content and understood it, you are going to get 100%.

Not so at TJ. You need to understand it in depth and be able to apply it in a different situation. This is exactly like what you would find at undergrad level. This is above and beyond what you can expect of a high school student.
