[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our progressive school is very structured. Progressive is a pedagogy and does not suggest lack of structure. Sensitive kids may need somewhere calm and supportive. Social and emotional environment may be different than teaching philosophy. [/quote] This is a very rational post. When I look at schools I am always drawn to progressive education, but I've come to realize that my sensitive DC needs a calm, orderly, supportive environment more than anything. Some kids keep their center in the midst of "creative chaos," but mine doesn't. Calm and orderly environments can be found in both progressive and traditional schools, and so can chaotic ones. I have learned to look more for specific qualities and less for a pedagogical label or philosophy. (And then there is the question of which schools are truly progressive, but that's another discussion altogether.)[/quote]
