[quote=Anonymous]We can argue until we’re blue in the face, but the truth is, everyone’s right. (Except those saying any school can implement the same teaching practices and get the same results.) Is it self-selection? Yes. Is it the way ATS teaches? Yes. All APS elementary schools can teach the same way ATS does, but until that home piece (parental involvement, low absenteeism, lack of behavioral issues, etc) is fixed, it just isn’t going to work in the same way. Should we do it anyway? Maybe. Raising standards and expectations is most likely the best thing, though we can’t pretend it’s not going to leave some disadvantaged kids behind. But at the end of the day, you can’t MAKE parents care. Home culture and attitude towards education accounts for a lot of a child’s success.[/quote]
