[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about public school is "progressive" (whether in terms of pedagogy or otherwise)?[/quote]

Well, the fact that public schools are required to provide every young person with an education for free, regardless of ability, disability or parental resources might be considered part of progressive values.[/quote]
Progressive "values" (whatever that means) and progressive pedagogy are completely different things.[/quote]

I understand. But elite schools in DC really emphasize inclusion, DEI, social justice, and progressive values.

On academics, many emphasize good college placement, and I never heard anything about "progressive" pedagogy or whatever that means.[/quote]

Yes and to us that was worth whatever we had to pay for our kids. Along with understanding how this world works. The school we choose is extremely progressive and assigns iPads for learning starting in kindergarten. Where else are you going to get incredible progressive values at an early age while teaching kids that technology is here to stay and we better learn how to use it. [/quote]
