[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In terms of pedagogy, as opposed to politics, Burke and Field are generally regarded as more progressive, with Burke being the more traditional of the two. There are a bunch of threads about both. Burke and Field also have progressive politics, but so does GDS, and so does Sidwell (arguably). Maybe Maret too.[/quote] Sidwell has a pretty traditional pedagogy. It is progressive politically, and not arguably so. It's very politically liberal and left, though not quite as far as gds. GDS has a more self-directed, progressive pedagogy. If your kid doesn't want traditional pedagogy, gds, Burke, field are where you should look. Not so much sidwell and sta. Given where you applied, though, it seems prestige led the way. Your still would likely do fine anywhere for two years, if you're sticking with the prestige list of sta, sfs, and gds. [/quote]
