[quote=Anonymous]We pulled out of ATS - there was bullying, but it depends on how your child is. Ours was quiet and shy, and the bullying she got caused a lot of anxiety. Although the principal and asst principal were good in dealing with the bullying, the overall environment was too much for her. Her teachers made little correction in writing (though the experience was good at kindergarten and first grade - first grade teacher has since left). They also didn't complete the syllabus in subsequent grades and I had to go through them again using a textbook with DD in the summer. In a nutshell, it didn't seem like ATS was any better than other APS schools in terms of teaching quality. Student diversity also comes with a host of students with very different attitudes to learning and discipline. I'd say you can take a gamble and if it doesn't work out for your child, you can always go back to your neighborhood school. [/quote]
