[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m still trying to understand exactly what ATS is and what makes it “traditional”. Shouldn’t all the schools be run that way (whatever that way is) if they get better results? [/quote] Yes I never understood it either. The answers I got were "this school has walls and doors" which was directly from the principal's mouth. Um, all the schools I looked at had walls and doors in APS, so I'm not sure where this "wall-less" school is. Parents seem to harp on the shirts being tucked in thing, but I saw plenty of children looking bedraggled just like every other elementary school. Also there is apparently assigned reading every day, but my school also asks us to read every day outside of school, so that hardly seems novel. The main thing that turned me off was the vibe from the group of parents while touring the school. Oh my word, no thank you. It sealed the deal for me as not a good fit for our family after that.[/quote]
