[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who chooses to spend tens of thousands a year to send their kid to private school instead of investing in their neighborhood and their public school is, by definition, not progressive.[/quote] You're confusing progressive politics with progressive education. We actually chose our home because it was in bounds for a great dcps public school. However, I'm a teacher myself (in an mcps school) and have been learning more and more about how young children learn. A progressive approach to education is now what I'm seeking, but unfortunately it seems the public schools haven't been able to embrace this (in large part because some parents WANT traditional and balk at reduction in homework, for example).[/quote] Several DCPS schools use a Reggio-inspired curriculum in the Pk-early elementary years. Murch and Mann are two I know of.[/quote]
