[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like people are jumping  on ASFS pretty hard - and it is not justified.  I have kids in ASFS, and I think it is a great school.  Our daughter and son have made friends with kids in their class, and have kept the friendships through the years despite being in different classes.  I've liked all the teachers so far (five different ones to date) and like the PTA.  I'm not super involved, but they put on great events and do a lot for the school.  So far,  I like the fact that Ms. Begley runs a tight ship, and it has not created any hardships on our kids.  The school is very, very diverse - lots of multicultural children, so I do wonder if resources are being diverted from the traditional programs to assist students where English is not their native language.  But part of the diversity is simply children whose parents have international jobs, and happen to live in the zone.  I wanted a school where it appears that the parents take education seriously at home, since that is where the large differences occur between schools - it is not the funding level per se, it is how involved the parents are with their children at home.  For some reason, people like to speak poorly about ASFS, and in my opinion, it is unjustified - some may be speaking the truth, but some also appear to have an agenda.  [/quote]
