[quote=Anonymous]When it comes to academics the distinction doesn't matter a whole lot in the upper grades. Even progressive schools take a fairly standard approach to academics. But culturally there is a huge difference. My kids started at a traditional school, I looked down on progressive schools as too loosey goosey, not serious enough. But the traditional school turned out to be socially rigid and unaccepting and academically stressful. They are now at a progressive school which is academically challenging without pitting the students against each other and socially much more inclusive. They are happier and I have completely changes my mind about progressive schools.[/quote]
