I do not think that

Submitted by Moira Messick on Wed, 07/22/2009 - 10:25am.

I do not think that acknowledging reality is throwing our hands up and saying "that's the way it is."  Not every teacher/parent/student buys into theories of alternative education.   Even if we exercise these "enlightened" practices in the classroom, don't we have the responsibilty to prepare students for the obstacles they will inevitably face in future? 

Personally, I value inquiry-based education, otherwise I would not be teaching an alternative program.  I just wonder how we treat the transition into more traditional classrooms.  Which is inevitable.
