Somehow this is not as surprising as it should be

Matthew Murray's ATI past

There seems to be a lot of talk regarding whether the curriculum itself was to blame, or the parents, or just "sometimes you get a bad apple." For my two cents, you have to be careful about thinking that you have "the answer" for how to educate. Children have different needs, and when you fail to account for the individual challenges of each child, you fail to show the love they need to feel a part of the "community" of their family. That and you probably lack the humility to recognize that others (who may not believe exactly the way you do!) may know better or be better equipped to meet these needs.

Hmm... I'd actually never heard of ATI before coming to PHC, but it's been interesting to hear the varried opionions from people with a background in the program.
