[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well people are right that ATS is not magic. It’s just a self selected student body. That’s true. It’s also why it can’t be replicated in a non lottery program.  So basically it takes kids destined to succeed then claims credit for their scores.  Keep it or don’t. But don’t kid yourself that it has some secret sauce. [/quote]

With that logic, all of the option schools should always be at the top performers.[/quote]

This point has already been addressed in this thread.  If you really care, go read.[/quote]
I’m not sure I buy the “other option schools are more or less neighborhood schools” argument. You’re still working with self-selecting parents who know enough about the system to opt for an alternative to the neighborhood school. Unless you’re saying that kids whose parents try for ATS are inherently more likely to succeed than other kids?[/quote]

That’s not the only point that was made.  Lazy reading is not worth responding to.[/quote]

“Lazy reading is not worth responding to” aka I don’t know how to answer so I’ll just insult you instead. Strong argument. [/quote]
