[quote=Anonymous]It plays out with huge variation. It takes a great teacher to do it well, and there are few great teachers than slots for them at such schools. At GDS, they said at open houses a few years ago that they become less progressive as kids move from elementary to high school. On the other hand, there are traditionally labelled schools today that have some classes run in more progressive style. Few independents these days think classes are about lectures with kids sitting quietly taking notes, so in some ways schools that profess to adhere to a strictly progressive ideology -- while they may be wonderful schools -- may be distinguishing themselves from something already nearly extinct. The key is which schools can execute best. [/quote]
