[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is so special about ATS and how it it different from other neighborhood schools? All I’ve heard about are the homework and the uniforms? How does it promote academic achievement? [/quote] Countless chains on that topic. Suffice it to say, ATS sets high standards and expects its students to meet them. That's the difference.[/quote] It’s the teaching pedagogy. [b]They use direct instruction which is old school (though it’s catching on again) while other schools mostly use small group instruction.[/b] There are different opinions on which is better but it’s a whole different method of teaching.[/quote] Direct instruction is not mutually exclusive to small groups. One is an instructional delivery, the other is a management.[/quote]
