[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi 11:03, I am open to conversation about other curriculum and why professional educators have chosen the particular programs that they have for their schools. I would very much welcome that conversation! This is a forum where that could take place. When visiting a school in person, I have to restrain myself because while I am genuinely interested in dialogue on the subject, very specific questions can come across in a way that makes the administrator or teacher feel defensive. There is research that supports my curriculum preferences, but I always want to be open to learning and discussing and am aware that this is a complex issue. [/quote]

I think[b] it [/b]is all in how you approach the admin or teacher.  At DC's school, we had those sorts of conversations before applying and I never found the educators to feel defensive - they seemed eager to have the conversation.  Maybe I was lucky - I have an education background, so perhaps I could "talk the talk", but I'm not sure it was anything more than my expressed interest in understanding the school's curriculum, how it is implemented, and why the school made the choices it made.   It has been a good fit for DC![/quote]

Sorry...had to fix my typo.[/quote]
