[quote=Anonymous]Having been in education for decades, mostly in the traditional arena, I have to say I'm a progressive convert.  I wouldn't have been caught dead buying into the "do what you want when you want" philosophy 10 years ago.  Then I spent some time working with progressive educators and schools really getting to know what it means to be progressive and was wowed by how prepared students are/were for the real world and truly were young experts in a series of fields.  Learning by doing?  You mean I don't have to sit there and listen to a boring teacher drone on and on about something and then have me read what they said for 2 hours that night? Anything but that can't be not education, right?

Now since most of the Big 3 kids have a fast track thanks to the family going to Big 3 + Ivy and then getting a cushy job a daddy's company, any education will do.  It doesn't really matter.

If you want to spend your money wisely and invest in your kids future a progressive education is undoubtedly the best bang for your buck.
