[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] No. [b]The ATS approach is fine for those who want it, but most parents don’t. [/b]ATS “works” because it’s a self selecting group.[/quote] This is stupid logic. The parents aren't the ones in school. It doesn't matter what the parents *want.* [b] It matters what works for the kids.[/b] ATS' approach "worked" for decades. It became "ATS" option program because it rebuked the open classroom fad that was taking place, enabling some families to escape the trend. There is nothing special about ATS or its instructional approach. The self-selection merely brings a lot of over-anxious parents together into the same school.[/quote] You're defining "what works for the kids" as ES SOL scores. I don't care about those. I care about things that my kids (now in HS & college) developed just fine without homework every night in every grade. And they developed them better than their friends who went to ATS. [/quote]
