[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ATS should mandate 2/3rds of slots for lower socioeconomic and minority students, similar to how Montessori does their prek. I have no problem with ATS existing or being a home for attentive parents. But it should favor disadvantaged every step of the way. And, please don't tell me it's FRL rate is similar or better than other schools, that is truly irrelevant. It's FRL needs to be twice the worst neighborhood school, and it's student demographics needs to flip the stats of U.S. public. Then you know it's really serving those who need it in our society.

Yeah, no. No one’s gonna go for that. You’d be better off advocating for ATS-style teaching at Drew or something.[/quote]

I'm PP, then shut down ATS. Sure, go ahead and try to roll out whatever magic you think can be applied on a pedagolocal basis across the board. let's hope you're successful in doing that, but then there is [b]no reason for ATS to exist, not unless you make it a disadvantaged model.[/b] [/quote]

There are a lot of people who disagree with you, but you’re entitled to your opinion I suppose.

Good luck shutting it down.[/quote]

Oh my goodness, you think you're some kind of majority, or even a significant sliver? Get over yourself. Count up the populations at HB, Campbell, Montessor, and Arl Tech and you are vastly outnumbered. All of those people don't want your rigid system. Then count their waiting lists. Then count people who are just fine at their neighborhoods regardless. Why should the whole APS system invest in a 2nd ATS over a 2nd HB or 2nd Montessori, who also have long enough annual waitlists that you could open another school. People, know there are limits to your bubble and be happy you got what it is. Not everyone is dying to get in. [/quote]

Wait… what? 😂[/quote]
