[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that this thread and threads about ATS all end up being a waste of virtual breath. People act like there are high minded arguments against choice schools, but it seems that the bottom line is that many people are just mad their kids didn’t get something that other kids did. Their objections to the schools “on principle” didn’t keep them from applying. They just didn’t win. Therefore, no amount of discussion or logic will change their minds.

FWIW, I’m agnostic on the question of choice schools. This is just an observation after seeing many of these threads over the years. [/quote]

Agree. My kids didn’t get into ATS and I really do think it’s the right environment for them. I am mad that given its popularity it’s only for a select, lucky few. If my neighborhood school wasn’t so awful I would be okay with it. [/quote]

We were sad about not getting into ATS after taking the tour many years ago, but in retrospect it would not have been a good fit fwiw.  All of the intense work in kindergarten would have been too much for our kids (who are now great readers anyway).  We kept our place in the lottery and were ultimately offered a spot in 2nd grade, but by then we realized we should not take it.  In case that helps, though I'm sorry re your experience.  [/quote]
