[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ATS works because it is a self-selected group of kids.

ATS works because it is protected from kids who enroll after the first day of school, the second day of school, the 3rd month of school. When you have fewer disruptions to your student body, the environment is more controlled. They are protected from people who move into the county in the middle of the school year.

If all schools could control enrollment that way, life would be different. I think it's a testament to Arlington schools how well they manage and integrate kids who come in after the deadlines and learn.

This, plus parents who pay enough attention to deadlines and school communication to actually apply[/quote]

How about teachers and administration with good communication so parents know what's going on when and when deadlines are for what?  School communication can be sub-par.  It's not always the parents' (or even the kids') fault.

Aspects of ATS' approach would still be effective in other schools without the self-selected parents. It isn't the opting-in that makes ATS work. [b]But it is true that ATS has been able to select its students and parents to some extent by exclusion, especially by excluding special needs students and students who are "too much" for ATS to handle -- whether directly, or by "encouraging" their withdrawal.[/b][/quote]
