[quote=Anonymous]Responding to 21:13, my kids attended a progressive independent for primary school and ended up at SAES in high school. There are some differences — and that varies by subject and teacher — but I take strong issue with your assertion that SAES does not promote crtical thinking as well as a Butke or any other “progressive” school.  My kids and all their friends who graduated SAES in recent years consistently came back from their colleges surprised at how much better they were at analysis, argument and writing — three proxies for crtitical thinking — than most of their college classmates.  It is true that St Andrew’s offers some direct teaching of study techniques and tips — some kids find them very helpful and others ignore them — but I am sure that isn’t what the other poster was referring to.   I would not dare to compare how another school teaches critical thinking skills compared to SAES, but I just don’t see any basis on which to suggest Another school is doing a better job other than pure ideological bias — something that seems both common and very outdated in some progressive schools these days.
