[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was searching through the threads and found this fantastic article that describes the differences between traditional and progressive schools. If you haven't seen it already, here it is: http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/10907.page#62059[/quote] Interesting article but not entirely accurate. I'm the PP whose kids went from traditional to progressive and as I wrote before, unlike what this author says, academics aren't that different. At DC's progressive school there are departments, requirements and not a lot of independent study. I also disagree that traditional schools are euro-centric, as this article states. At the traditional school my kids studied literature and history from Asia/Africa/Latin America. Perhaps the article was just dated. I do agree that progressive schools are more concerned with students' emotional development. To me thats the biggest difference.[/quote]
