[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A kid did elope from ATS before covid. They were being bullied by some kids and not treated well by a pe teacher apparently.

We moved from a neighborhood school that was terrible and ATS has been a total turnaround for our family.

I did want to report that my child did Lexia and a math game on IPad daily this year but I got the impression it was an APS wide mandate. (I asked).[/quote]

ATS is the perfect school for those not too keen on the iPads. [b]What’s unique about ATS is that it always bucks the latest educational trends or fads. [/b]It was created as a response to parent outcry over the open classroom movement in the 70s when physical walls were removed between the classrooms for a more communal learning arrangement.

Except it doesn't really.  They follow the same curriculum as the other schools.  They went down the Lucy Calkins rabbit hole same as everyone else.[/quote]

Actually they didn't follow Lucy Calkins. They have been phonics based from the start. [/quote]

And they’re also not switching to mastery based assessments. [/quote]
