[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you really can't move in the foreseeable future, I echo the poster above. Choose a school close to home. We commuted 40 minutes to school for several years-- it was really exhausting and we ended up moving close to the school. If that isn't an option for you, I'd reevaluate all the uptown schools for high school.

Also re: these schools, the pedagogy is all over the place. Are you looking for a more traditional or progressive education? What structure do you think your child would thrive in for the elementary school years?[/quote]

When people talk about progressive vs traditional, what exactly does that mean in the younger years? When we looked at Dalton, who describes their education as progressive, I didn't see that as the classrooms were traditionally taught (teacher in front teaching). I am assuming the progressive and traditional do have round table-like/Harkness discussions in both educational settings so I am having a hard time in understanding the difference.[/quote]
