Not true, there have been families leaving ATS, back to neighborhood schools and to private schools.

Why is this?

We are leaving ATS - it's just not what it used to be.

Can you expand on this? Where are you going?

Let's just say we don't quite like the new ATS location. Overall, we prefer moving out of APS to elsewhere that has proper textbooks and better learning resources.

I mean I don’t agree with Erin on a lot of stuff but yes, there should be textbooks and proper curriculum not just worksheets and iPads. I’d hope most would agree on that
Erin is that you?

I wrote the post “Erin is that you?” To be clear I agree with Erin. Or at least most of what she says.

Another NP who agrees. Erin, if you’re reading, thanks for continuing to advocate even though you don’t have skin in the game anymore!

Haha I knew I shouldn’t have but it was so obvious 🤣🤣🤣 I disagreed with her on the open school stuff (at least at the beginning of Covid) but pretty much everything else she says I agree with! She is a strong advocate when it comes to education and she knows her stuff. Sad to see her family go.
