[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ats needs to inform everyone what exactly makes it so special.  So far, I don’t see any difference between it and in other than the fact that ib is an accepted educational model.  All neighborhood schools are traditional schools, with a teacher that teaches in a traditional classroom setting.  Many of the neighborhood schools have an emphasis on reading and writing, and require both on a daily basis starting in kindergarten.  My fifth grader at Asfs had thirty minutes reading, a writing assignment, and twenty minutes of math everyday for homework last year.  Plus 20 min practice time for an instrument.  Third grade wasn’t much less.   So there isn’t a monopoly on homework, a lot of Aps schools have a lot of homework.

To the pp saying Arlington tech may morph into early college, I think you need to read the stuff around the ipp more.  [b]They think it’s already early college. [/b] The only change in the ipp was the idea that ats should evolve into an ib program, and grow to meet demand.

There was a lot of talk in the late spring meeting about “early college” and the changes that they recommend for Arlington Tech. The recommendation was not to leave Arlington tech alone and just start calling it early college. [/quote]
