Rochester Taxpayers has done its homework. They do not support the ‘Big Picture’ school concept, recognizing it to be based on the failed “outcome-based” educational philosophy that has morphed and changed to be called other things such as “competency-based”, “student-centered”, “constructivist” or any number of other titles.
To understand educational jargon, please see the Illinois Loop folks who’ve done a great job explaining it all.
