My Personal Insights:
If we compare the two curriculums, I can say that traditional curriculum is far but not that
far from progressive curriculum because in traditional curriculum we are only doing and using
the traditional or normal way and following what are in the guide unlike in the progressive they
can say that they are using and following also the guide but it is more progressive because in
progressive curriculum they applying what they are learning thats why in progressive
curriculum there is a quality of a education.
