[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree w having more option schools. The answer is to follow the ATS model in neighborhood schools. We seem to be moving in opposite direction though w equity grading. [/quote]

I guess I could never get a good feel for what "traditional" meant.  I realize there's a heavy emphasis on reading and homework every day.  And tucking in shirts (maybe that went away).

But I asked the principal at an info session (this was in 2018) and she gave me this line about the school having walls with doors.  I was SO confused.  My kid's neighborhood school has walls and doors?

I know the school culture is most likely a bit part of what makes kids successful.  But if the ideas there are so well done, why aren't we doing it APS wide?  [b]What is the main difference between the way ATS does teaching and the rest of the county?  I don't' want to hear it's kindergarten kids reading for 30 minutes a night.  That's not a curriculum.[/b][/quote]

ATS holds all their students to a high standard of reading and reading is a true part of their culture. That's the difference.  [/quote]
