My son took summer geometry last year. I disagree that you won't learn everything there. It depends on the kids.
BTW, you dont' need to be all As to get in TJ. Last time I checked, about 50% are all As in 7th and 8th grade, and 50% have other grades.
Good luck!

You realize that geometry is on the SAT right. Scrunching it into a 5 week timeframe just makes it harder for them later, because they don’t learn everything and they don’t have any depth.

We’ll see you half way into the summer when you are asking how to have your kids B+ or A- in Geometry expunged because they have to have an A for their TJ application.

I don't think it's that they don't want kids to reach their full potential, it's just that the compressed schedule isn't always the best for learning. They look at your kid, their history and give advice. Or they generally dissuade from it and figure the kids that really want it will still go for it.

Or you could talk to your child's teacher who can provide you with all the necessary information.
