Progressive education is a kind of teaching that is different from the traditional way of teaching. Instead of just learning facts and following a strict set of rules, progressive education encourages kids to think for themselves, figure things out, and explore different learning methods. It also allows kids to take part in deciding how they learn. In progressive education, the teacher is more like a guide who helps the students learn, instead of a 'boss', telling the students what and how to do things. Progressive education values students' personal interests and encourages them to work on projects that they find interesting.
