[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So well said by a PP above "parent manufactured genius child". This kid is nowhere close to what she is being projected to be - Its her Parents creating each post, book showing, science experiemtn, trip blah blah blah.. DD is in TJ and this kid seems to be failing miserably and seems to come across as pretty average / clueless when other kids speak with her. What is being projected and hyped by her parents in media is however altogether a different story.[/quote]
Is this student still at TJ? Trying to understand how doable TJ curriculum is for a ten year old. [/quote]

She is but the rumor I've heard from my kid (not in her grade) is she's struggling. I assume there is too much forward momentum to admit this wasn't a great idea. As a parent, in no way would I want a 14 year old in a college setting. [/quote]

Why are you airing a child's business on the internet?[/quote]
The child's business has already been aired by their parents. They are now a public figure, whether they like it or not.[/quote]

Not PP but no. They are still a kid. And I oppose discussing any specific kid’s experience in a way that identifies them. Shame on you. [/quote]

I think it is useful for people to know that a 10 year old at TJ is struggling because it is a cautionary tale to the other parents out there that are pushing their kids to match this sort of pace to be extremely careful.  When there has been publicity trumpeting this sort of behavior, we shouldn't hide the consequences.

This is a girl that would have been perfectly fine taking TJ calculus as a freshman when she is 14 but is instead struggling to deal with it at the age of 12.[/quote]
