[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] Politically progressive, and the progressive educational movement are two entirely different things. [/quote] Agree. I think progressive pedagogy is best for preschool and college. For most students, grades 1-12 need more structure and as much subject matter as possible, with skills and standards testing. Progressive schools for lower, middle and upper school skip too many important topics, context and subject matter so you come out knowing less. And any good student “knows how to think” so drop that fake pretense. [/quote]
