The opposite of a progressive school. One that focuses more on obedience, studying and tests then on hands on experimental type learning. In the extreme, it is the type of school depicted in dark comedy in Pink Floyd's the Wall, where children are turned into faceless beings without individualism.

The current "no child left behind act" is a measure that promotes traditional learning, since a handful of things need to be memorized, and overall ability is not scored.

Most schools and educators believe in a mix of progressive and traditional learning.
