[quote=Anonymous]From what I learned by attending 15 open houses for PK3, everyone tells you what you want to hear: student-centered, inquiry-based, teachers as facilitators of learning etc., but the big difference is how kids behave in class, are they really free to study what they are interested, or are they directed? are the excited about what they do, or are they bored, etc. So I suggest, instead of listening to what they tell you, try to make time and go see for yourself. Open houses are really good, an additional option is to get a separate appointment and tour it alone with an existing parent, that way you can sneak into classrooms and see exactly how things are, instead of seeing what they want you to see on the open house.

Not that anyone is lying to you, that is not my point. My point is, everyone things that what they do is best, but the true picture of what they do is in the classrooms, and I suggest seeing that and going with your gut, rather than just hearing or reading about it[/quote]
