[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ATS isn’t in hot demand though. Lots of elementary parents (and research) don’t want the homework every day model, and are perfectly happy sending their kids to their neighborhood school.

But for those Type A parents, ATS’s lottery is there for you. There is value to having other learning models available to your kids. APE’s going to have a really hard time convincing the community otherwise.[/quote]

You can easily have an ATS without all the homework.  Homework isn't the critical factor for ATS' success.[/quote]

Nah. ATS can remain an option school. Please don’t ATS my child’s neighborhood school. [/quote]

Yeah, we don't want high expectations or discipline or high academic achievement in our schools![/quote]

Amazing but true: you can have high academic achievement and good discipline without buying into the ATS model.

Show me evidence that ATS provides long-term benefits to the students that attend and I'll listen. So far all I've ever heard about is SOL scores, and I don’t give a fork[/quote]
