[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been in 3 different schools systems and I haven't seen anything like the learning showcase.  However, I'm sure it's done in other places or at least some form of it.  (There's nothing new in the universe). I do however think IT has created something very special with the children.  They feel ownership.  That's why they were so excited.  [/quote]

This was special, for sure.  It was not a performance piece rehearsed ad nauseum at the expense of learning time. It isn't teachers repeating curricular plans. Parents spent an evening enjoying their children's learning at their own pace and with such a personal focus.  It's a true picture of learning happening in so many forms and ways - and is about as authentic as I've ever imagined. This place is so fabulous - and I'm not sure a good chunk of parents even realize how unique this sort of experience is in DC. [/quote]

I don't doubt that it was great, but do you realize how condescending you sound to all the pp's who have just said that their schools do this type of thing?  At least one of the schools mentioned above has a showcase that does exactly what you say, so I'm not sure you can say that it is unique.  Rare, yes, unique, no.[/quote]
