[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a traditional school, the curriculum (therefore the teacher and standardized tests) are the focus of the school day. The teacher often stands at the front of the room and primarily gives instructions. The main goal is for kids to follow directions and learn the material. Like the catholic school I went to. Traditional schools can be any school - private or public. In a non-traditional school (like Montessori or Inquiry), the focus is on the student. Students and their questions inform the curriculum and what happens in the classrooms. The teachers are more facilitators of learning that instructors. The children lead and the teacher follows in these classes.[/quote] Are any schools "traditional" in the way your describe anymore?[/quote]
