The troll is back and trying to stir up trouble again. No one on this thread is challenging anyone’s right to exist.

Your question has absolutely nothing to do with the subject of this thread, which is to discuss what schools fall into liberal v conservative bucket.

The OP itself was a troll, judging by the "brainwash" dog-whistle. No reasonable independent or moderate would be using that kind of terminology.

I agree, because they like brainwashing kids.

I agree that your use of "brainwashing" is evidence of an inability to engage in good faith discussion.

Ok, I will use the words biased education so you don’t get offended, and we can discuss in good faith.

You have no interest in engaging in good faith.

Otherwise, you would've responded to this PP's apt summary on the first page:

Besides the political rants in this thread, so far, there’s clearly a misunderstanding and an ignorance about what progressive education is. And conservative education is not the antithesis of progressive education. But traditional education is the antithesis of progressive education.

Progressive education, yes, is a pedagogy (look up pedagogy if you don’t know what it means) by which schools pursue novel approaches the education based on research. For example, block scheduling is a progressive educational concept emanating from the idea that maybe eight subjects per day, five days a week isn’t the best way to approach school.

To me that’s just brainwashing.

How is block scheduling brainwashing?

In theory what you say about a progressive schools sounds nice, in practice many schools self defined as progressive are extremely liberal, and don’t tolerate dissenting opinions. Thats my own experience.

The fact that you keep treating pedagogy and ideology as interchangeable shows a refusal to argue in good faith.

That's fine, but you are conflating the correlations. Instance, Stone Ridge and GDS both have block schedules, but one has a far stronger left-wing point of view than the othewr.

Stone Ridge is actually very left for a catholic school. Potomac is middle leaning left. Flint hill is the same.

SR is very maga. Don’t let all girls fool you into thinking they at progressive. Everyone is blonde and the culture is a party mentality.

Not really. Most of the girls in my daughter's friend group are liberal. Many of the parents are conservative however.

Mostly all kids are liberal lol. I would say SR is moderate. Very intent on Catholic values, but with tolerance.

Jesuits are by and large lefties but the Gonzaga student body is laden with happy bro-types who can't be bothered with whatever the Jesuits are peddling and ignore them. I'm speaking in stereotypes here but there is truth in it.

That might be the case for a small group of boys, but most are very involved in service.

Op you and your child will be more affected by the parent community so pay attention to that.

For example- St. Albans parent community and governing board tend to be conservative. Also many Maga supporters in the parent and student community - not just conservative but very vocal Maga.

Between the maga parents and the extreme liberal parents I don’t know which is worse.

You really don’t know what’s worse? So you prefer racist, anti vax, anti science, anti human, to people who want human rights for everyone? Tells us everything we need to know about you!

Well I am more afraid talking to you than to a maga parent. So much intolerance and hate to people that think differently from liberals, starting by hating people that oppose abortion for religious motives.
