[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child came to Maret from a ‘progressive’ school. It has a liberal and progressive vibe and I think the parents from our former school would mostly be happy (actually happier) at Maret because everything is very well run and well thought out. However, your class will never change its track and start a panda baby unit just because everyone in love with the new panda baby. At our former school, they could have dropped everything for a week in response to student interest. That would never, ever happen at Maret. [/quote] Appears the advantages of progressive education were lost on you. The class would not have been dropping everything for a week in a whim but in fact adapting the core elements of the curriculum around the students’ interests. That’s the whole point to progressive education - let the traditional skills be gained in the context of wonder and curiosity. It is something to be celebrated.[/quote]
