What are the best schools to become an Atc ?

[mk]

like NAplaya16-ATC says, it all comes down to the person and not the school. Just because some grads from riddle or some grads from another school happen to be 'washed out' because of the type of work they do, doesn't make the school any worse than the other. And like some people have stated, some of the OTS guys are doing just as good, if not better, than the CTI guys so what does that tell you 

just to clarify, i do agree with you AirK and everyone else here that knows that schools don't matter when it comes down to it...they can help or they can hurt, but the individual makes it happen....i have a good friend at ATL Tracon...never had a sim in CTI school...they just read the rules...and he's makin' it just fine in ATL.  but i'm a moron, what do i know

Well I didn't know my questions were gonna get this much debate.lol But after checking out all 23 approved CTI schools I think I have narrowed my choice down to Middle Tennessee and Beaver. I see Riddle is very good and high tech but i just dont have the money to attend a school like that. Thanks alot for all the feedback, I have been to other aviation sites and have posted questions like the ones before and nobody feels like taking the time and effort to help people trying to get into the air traffic field so thanks.

You could have posted "the surface of the sun is hotter than the Earth" in an aviation forum and there would have been several posts disagreeing with one aspect or another of this fact, two posts criticizing your grammar, and one post expressing anger because the author thought you were insulting a family member.
