There is a majority of schools across America today that still remain to teach with a traditional approach toward education. Through taking many education courses over the last year I have realized that a progressive approach may be the most adequate system for all students to succeed in. Whereas in a traditional system the teacher will mainly be at the head of the class lecturing information to all of the students in a classroom setting, the progressive approach brings the students outside. Instead they work with the community, to help fix current issues while also learning the information and how to be good citizens. These students get to help teach eachother and the teacher acts more as a co-investigator. When going through progressive education it seems to provide the best educational opportunities for all students. It hit headlines when even the Obamas sent their children to a progressive school.
