[quote=Anonymous]The latest SWS thread on "SWS open" raised some questions in my mind.  Right now I am trying to decide whether to rank SWS as #1 on our lottery form.  We have a good chance of getting into what would be our #2 school (which is more traditional), but I need to decide if SWS would be better.  My husband and I both went to "traditional" public schools, so that is what we know and we are (mostly) comfortable with.  We are persuaded by research on curricula such as Reggio-Emilia, which shows that learning through exploration provides a more meaningful educational experience, etc.  So we like the idea of a school like SWS, but we haven't experienced it personally.  And some people on this board will say it is not a "good fit" for all children.  Can anyone provide some concrete examples of what type of children would do better in a more traditional school setting?

Thanks.  And, I'd appreciate no comments on our chances of getting into SWS through the lottery, or if it is fair to enter the lottery for a city-wide school when you have a decent neighborhood option, etc. etc.  We've thought all that through and really now I am just trying to decide whether I like SWS better than our other option so I can decide how to rank them.  Thanks.[/quote]
