False. I know for a fact there was a least one.

Do you have a kid at TJ? I do. Believe me, they have plenty of leisure time. And I'm convinced at least half of the "oh my kid is up so late doing homework" is due to said kid screwing around on social media. Learning time management will help anyone in adulthood, and by HS kids should be learning skills like that IMO.
Yes, exactly. My child went to TJ, was involved in a lot of out of school activities, and managed to be in bed every night by 11. Most of the kids at TJ are pretty darn smart and can get their work done in a reasonable amount of time as long as they are organized and work efficiently.
He would be annoyed when classmates with whom he was working on a group project would text or email at 2 and 3 in the morning. The other kids had no other activities and yet they couldn’t manage to get their work done earlier because they were fooling around on social media half the time. Poor time management is just as much a problem at TJ as it is at other schools.

This thread makes no sense. TJ is highly selective, right? Obviously a lot of people want to go there. It’s not like only Asian kids are applying.

It's not that bad. Sure, it's harder than base HS (has to be, duh!) but it's not like kids don't do anything else.. Tons of kids good around, play travel sports (sometimes more than 1) and have a good time..

If you let Asians make America according to their culture... Indians create an incredible level of corruption because for them it’s all about connections and giving contracts to nephews and cousins. They only hire Indians first.
Chinese culture is to copy and steal intellectual property to try to profit from it. So they would not invent anything, instead steal each other’s ideas and businesses secrets while making crap.
All immigrants desperately want their kids to do well so they tiger parent them to get into Harvard and become a doctor or an engineer. That’s why there are so many Asian doctors - lack of imagination.
The real game changers were brought up in different culture. People like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Sergey Brin were not valedictorians with perfect SAR scores.
So.. White people don't hire friends and family? Oops, I forgot.. When they do it, it's called "Networking". When others do it, it's called "Corruption". Riiight!
Donald Trump must be Indian by the above definition..

I’m not sure what the point of the Bill Gates comment was but he got a 1590 sat score out of 1600

Sad how FCPS brags to the whole country about TJ and most of the school is made up of first generation immigrants.
correction: first generation incredible smart immigrants

Why the snark? As an Asian parent, let me tell you this.. no other country in the world is as welcoming as America to immigrants.. and it's the white people that made it that way. If the non-whites had their way, most would shut and lock the doors behind them so no one else comes in! I've interacted with enough Asians, blacks, Hispanics and Indians to know this.
Oooh...an actual banana.
Yeah.. you can s**k my banana, dumbass!

I agree, if people think white Americans are bad, try going to other countries..
