Wasn’t Edmund Burke a conservative?

😭😭😭[/quote]

The definitions of conservative and liberal are so shifting as to be meaningless by themselves.  It’s tribalism.  Whatever my party wants is the conservative/liberal path, depending on your perspective.  Trump, for example, wasn’t particularly conservative on a lot of traditional economic issues (like free trade, for example).  Bill Clinton was quite conservative in terms of criminal punishment, international trade, and welfare benefits.  Obama was really a centrist but was portrayed as some raging socialist.

But to answer your question, when someone says a progressive school, I assume they mean a progressive educational philosophy.  One that is student-centered with self-directed learning, meeting kids where they are, projects etc.  That is in contrast to a traditional or classical education.  A progressive pedagogy can still have conservative political leanings (not that Burke does).[/quote]
