[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One big difference we saw at ATS when we did the tour vs our neighborhood school, where are kids went, was a heavy focus on phonics at ATS. During the tour of a K classroom the teacher asks a parent to whisper a multi-syllable word. She then wrote it on the board and the class as a whole sounded it out. My kid was definitely not taught how to do that, much less in K. They were taught using that blended literacy crap which got them nowhere, other than extra hours with a paid tutor. I don't think ATS ever bought into the blended literacy model and that to me is a key to the students success.[/quote] Same. Ours were also taught the dumb blended literacy stuff and we have been trying to correct since they started school. [/quote]
