[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most absurd are the parents who swear by the structure of ATS, then send their kids to HB. [/quote]

I don't think that's absurd at all. My kid needed structured environment in ES then they were mature enough to attend HB. ATS had given them every tools to be successful in a less structured environment.

What's absurd about that?[/quote]

“My kid needs structure” until that option is gone..”My kid needs freedom”… ugh. It all means, “ I wan’t a private school but want someone else to pay for it.” If you’ve never sent your kids to their neighborhood school, you don’t know how they would respond to it. ATS is an excuse for elitism with no tangible benefit. [/quote]

You sound really bitter.  Why?  Yes, we did try our neighborhood school. Then got into ATS and gave it a try.  We figured we could always go back to our neighborhood school if it didn't work out.  We immediately noticed a difference.  ATS expected a lot from our child and let her know that, in a positive and encouraging way. They also offered support in the areas where she needed some help (reading).  We have no regrets. Do I think it is a private school experience? No way. We think it's an excellent public school and there's no shame (or elitism) in that.  We would love to see every school in APS be as successful as ATS.[/quote]
