👎Do you have any idea how much a book little alone 30 for one class or even a whole library costs. For real just the one teachers edition book for one subject will be just as much as a single computer. One computer replaces an infinite number of books. So unless your just teaching them skills which requires skills teachers and funds then this idea is just a good idea to get👍

Jerry Durant III except books you only have to buy once and can make copies of. There’s not any major reason to buy them every year unless there’s major changes in the curriculum and if a kid doesn’t have a book it’s not that big of a deal. If a kid doesn’t have a computer, on the other hand, they’re completely left behind because they can’t even do the work. Giving kids a “free” computer and expecting them to take care of it can be a bit much; whereas it doesn’t matter that much if they destroy a book so long as they can still do the work (though they should probably get punished in some way to know not to do that again) Not to mention that digital textbooks usually have DRM so that they can ONLY be used for a year, while regular books are available all the time past purchase (it’s just workbooks that need repurchasing each year, and that’s dependent on use)

Waldorf is older than that news. You only probably heard of this approach now but it has always been in existence. Idealistic hipsters love it for sure. But honestly, these kids are super disadvantaged now when it comes to jobs in the IT/tech sector. Schools who had actual technology funding can start having computer science classes as early as 2nd grade. If one of these waldorf kids develope a love for computer languages, he is already far behind by then.

And owning a phone was unheard of unless you were a teenager. Schools are still pretty much the same 10 years after I left, and only rich kids get phones before they're 14 or so.

Well he was wrong and right as the rich also travel a lot in some cases so the tutors can and also are virtual in a lot of cases like I have seen one Chinese tech company owner does with his son. I agree that parents with a lot more wealth can just hire tutors no matter if they are in person or virtual giving their children a one on one advantage with less distraction and more focus on their child and how they personally learn best. I see this in wealth people who still send their children too public school. The kids with wealthy parents always seem smarter but it usually is because after school and on weekends they have tutors which in turn makes them have an advantage of their poor peers who don’t have this luxury.

Honestly it's weighed options. Obviously community public schools consist of a lot of students and not enough teachers or classrooms even to handle it. If you want to send your kids to a school with more one on one you have 3 options that comes to mind. 1.) Private school that is more one on one small class ratio. Private schools also tend to take more field trips that are good for growth and development. As well as personalized learning/development into adulthood at a young age. You also know exactly what is being taught to your child and you have a say in it. Negatives it tends to cost a lot depending on the private school. 2.) Home schooling. Pros you get to spend one on one with your child and yourself plan outings that you feel benefit your child. You also get a flexible schedule and don't have to worry about planning family outings. Negative effects home schooling tends to leave children anti social so transition into college or even the outside world tends to be difficult most home schooled kids have really bad social anxiety and don't know how to cope with college life. 3.) Which I feel meets everything in the middle. Just hire a tutor. Your child gets one on one help with weak subjects it tends to be more affordable as well. Another good option is simply being involved in your child's education plan. Talk to their teachers check in daily on how they are doing in school. Most teachers I've experience have enough time on request to email parents about how the child is doing. It isn't just the teachers job to educate it's the parents too. Children crave routine it's proven to be a big help on optimal learning and skill development.

Ravenous youth | Just don’t let them use the computer the entire time ya dingus. In my school we only use computers when needed, and if we have book work we will do book work. Computers were only for researching, typing papers to be printed out (only did it once), and online programs/ tests we couldn’t do with just paper. Computers also just save time when researching thing, not to say that books are horrible but a computer makes things way faster. So if computers make things faster, and this school already had time for the other extra things then we could just use computers to make whatever researching is needed to go by faster / easier and then do other things like sewing.

That may be part of it. I'm sure they also realize tech isn't everything and if that's all we focus on we'll lose our ability to survive as humans if/when tech fails or there's a major economic collapse. Most people don't know how to take care of animals, forage or grow food anymore, especially those of lower economic status because they have neither the land, time, nor resources - which forces them to have to rely on the system for everything. This type of education gives the children of the wealthy the best preparation for survival (and control) regardless of what happens. They know exactly what they're doing.

I attend a Steiner (Waldorf) school as a senior student, it’s honestly so beautiful and having come from the Australian public school system, it’s something I can really appreciate for the difference. There is such a huge focus placed on being with nature, and understanding the world around us. With obscure, physical-based classes (e.g. gardening, metal work, sewing, wood work, lapidary, and more) that promote caring, a sense of community and a deeper understanding of our world and the people around us a whole. I’m blessed to attend such a beautiful hippie school. We use limited technology, but maintain, in my eyes, a balance. I use technology a lot at home, having never fully adhered to the Steiner philosophy and grown up in a family where this was normal, but school is a welcome reprieve from the online world. We use a self-based learning experience, where each student has the ability and opportunity to learn at a pace that suits their needs but still give them the required knowledge of that subject. We do, in fact, do coding as a class, but I attend a more “progressive” Waldorf school that compared to many typical Steiner schools has incorporated a greater amount of technology into their curriculum. (By that I mean I have like 3 classes that don’t require me to use a mechanical pencil and printer paper to write up assignments.)

As someone who has been in Waldorf education through high school and middle school, I will say this portrayal is not entirely accurate. While in the very orthodox belief of Waldorf there should be no tech, that is far from the truth in these schools. In middle school and high schools, students are no different than at any other schools. All still glued to their phones and fully absorbed in media culture. I think these ideas of no tech rest mostly in the early years in the child's education. Teachers just put more emphasis on the value of human interaction. Nobodies riding around on horse and buggy lmao. Nobody I know has any sort of tech restrictions. Oh, and for people wondering about the tuition, 90% of the people I know are on financial aid. only a handful of people can actually afford the tuition.

mélanie Hi Mélanie ! Actually, it's not 😉. I went to a waldorf school and there is more than just what they show here. They left a HUGE part of what makes a steiner waldorf school a steiner warlder school. It's not just about low tech use, i'm sure you know what we see throught media is just a part of reality. I think it's important we remind ourselves to be curious and critical about what we see/hear/read etc. I am curious, you have an "accent" in your name, where does it comes from ? I am from France.

I used to teach at a Reggio Emilia preschool which is a play-based approach where technology is limited in class. In my school, the teachers had a computer to email and make yearbooks for the kids, but the kids never saw a glowing screen during class time, instead they got to play, explore different centers, and make art. Waldorf schools are not the same as a traditional school that doesn't have the budget for computers, Waldorf kids are taught to think for themselves, be independent, and learn about the world through art, storytelling, and nature. Kids learn at their own pace and get individual attention from their teachers. In many Waldorf schools, students can have the same teacher for several years, so they build a close bond and the teachers really know their students and see their journey as they grow. My issue with Waldorf is that teachers still tell kids what to do and make them all do the same activity instead of letting them choose what they want to learn, which is what the Reggio approach is. It's still better than a traditional school and it's better for kids to explore nature and make art using real material instead of clicking on a screen all day. Kids don't need to learn how to use technology, it's actually bad for young kids to use phones and iPads since it affects their attention span, mood, sleep, and ability to entertain themselves with their own imagination. Tech is purposely made to be user-friendly and easy to use, so just like I was able to use a smartphone and other tech as an adult since that stuff didn't exist when I was a kid or teenager, kids who grow up tech-free will easily be able to use technology when they get older. They're not missing anything from not having tech as kids and are gaining a lot by growing up without it.

Thanks for this. As a retired (escaped) teacher this is reassuring. I taught for ten years in the Los Angele public schools. I wound up as a Pool Teacher, which meant that I went to lots of different schools, taught every possible subject. It gave me an amazing overview of what goes on in schools. Students staring at phones? In the majority of schools it was impossible to get students to put their phones away. The basic attitude of the adults was 'this is impossible,' but the next school over, same everything, except: no phones out in classes. Difference? Schoolwide practice of no phones in class. I noticed a couple of things. First, it takes only about 1/3rd of teachers insisting on a good practice, like no phones, use of daily planners to achieve very high compliance rates. In my first school we used to have teams, where the same teachers would teach the same population of students, as this practiced faded away the teacher 'teams' still met, but only shared about 1/3rd of our students. My colleague suggested we insist on students using their planners. It worked. So rule of thumb, 1/3rd of teachers reaching 1/3rd of students can result in significant changes. (Serious endemic problem in education. Something like this is successful, and... yet it doesn't spread. It might get mentioned, but there's no follow through. Skinner had far more success with pigeons than actual results has on education. Support. Secondary schools are full of students in various cliques, by far the most effective are the mean girls. The adults do this too. What I noticed (as an annoying person) is that when you are on the 'outs' with the teacher clique (never a majority of the staff, but always dangerous to get on the wrong side of) school behavior and academic expectations in your class are not supported. Result? Classes are chaotic, students won't do what's asked. See we said he was a bad teacher, but the broader effect is to undermine the school's culture. (One day a student blurted out, 'M..X hates you.' Really? Had I said this about another teacher I'd be fired. After that I'd casually ask students what teachers at their school thought of each other. In every case some teacher(s) wanted other teachers burned at the stake. It was like 7th grade mean girls, just as intense and just as useless and unfair.) I remember one teacher who was driven out of a school, months later a colleague was bad mouthing her. He was more 'in' I was more 'out'. I asked him, 'So who's next?' He had a name. There will always be a 'next' and one day it'll be you. My best advice? Who is the worst most unliked teacher in your school? Who is the worst student? Support them, help them. When they succeed everyone else will be easier. A new kid who misbehaves? They should begin hearing other students say, "Keep this up and you are going to have 20 new adult friends who just can't spend enough time with you." School administration policies are invariably about everybody all at once and they almost always change nothing. The student who does no work in period one, will do no work in period two... so why is he allowed to go to period two? (A principal who didn't like me at all stopped by my room during I think, 3rd period. This student was still sitting there since period one. I thought, uh-oh, I'm going to get it.... but she was intelligent (which made her not liking me sting a lot more). She was okay with it. He finished his assignment and was happy. A few weeks of this and he'd be passing his classes. So the Waldorf school. Terrific, and in this video are a lot of their 'secrets.' How much does it cost to have less tech? teach students to sew? chickens? This video could be incredibly useful to teachers, parents and students. And who are the Waldorf school kids? They come from wealthy, successful families that have high expectations for them. Except for Spring Break trips to Macchu Pichu, all you need is a library, no TV, and positive support. Except for the trip to Macchu Pichu, the key parts of raising a brilliant child are not expensive, but they do require positive parental involvement. If I've had any intellectual success I can trace it back to growing up the kid of a carpenter and learning solid practical mechanical skills (not building some cute kit, but learning how to frame houses), reading (my friend read a lot so I read a lot. There is only one thing more powerful than reading 100 books, that's reading 500 books.) Finally, mistrusting experts. This last one is a bit dubious, but really helps if you are in organizations (or a family) that have institutionalized failure. UN stats kept since the 1950s indicate that there has been zero improvement in the actual education levels over the past 50 years. All those school 'reforms,' the 'new initiative', 'the 20 or 70 million dollar reading program'? All completely and utterly useless. The practical mechanical skills I developed gave me a clear sense of what works, what doesn't and how to think more clearly. I think this will work and then it doesn't; what do I need to do differently? (Managers have a much more difficult task, they make an assumption, order an action...and it didn't work, but why? It's not just the manager and a bicycle, it's a manager with several other people there are lots more 'moving parts'; it's a lot more difficult figuring out what exactly didn't work and how to fix it.) Over use of screen time. Is it symptom or cause? Everything in this video is actually about positive feedback loops. What are the results of each practice we see in the video? Not going to the Waldorf school won't ruin your future and too much screen time won't make a kid suicidal or homicidal; but ultimately what a child, or any of us spends more time doing will reinforce that behavior and amplify the results. This amplification is the real long term consequence. Learning is not simply the cumulation of education, it's the acceleration of being able to learn more and more efficiently, which in turn.... Learning is not arithmetical, it's exponential. So you're young, can't afford the Waldorf, parents and teachers don't 'get it?' Read a lot of books. But you're failing and you read at a low level. The sooner you get started. Life is really long, so what if you're five years behind, get started. Reading leads to a greater ability to think in complex ways. (And if you can't understand what you're reading, read it again. If a book is particularly useful, read it again. I've been in too many teacher 'trainings' where the person instructing completely misunderstands the concept they're instructing us about. Am I smarter than that person? Probably not, but I'd read that book twice to make sure I understood.) What does more time staring at Instagram, smoking weed, staring at a blank wall... lead to? Know what the teachers in the public schools are doing? We're sitting in meetings about how the 'new reading program' is going to improver 'our' reading scores. Who's reading scores? The students. What's more effective for a student's reading score: what someone else does in a meeting, or that student reading a book? Just imagine what actual happens in a three hour meeting the goal of which is to get someone not there to read more. Now string together dozens of these meetings. I've begged to be let out of these meetings so I can sit in a roomful of students collecting cell phones and handing out books. Nope. The meeting is 'too important.' Remember what Good Will Hunting says " you dropped a hundred and fifty grand on a *** education you coulda got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library." Okay, cranky ex-teacher rant over. And anyone who's read this far, thank you and accept my sincere apologies for taking up your time. And do not thank me; go read a book. I don't want to be liked, I want you to learn.

Your comment is backwards. From the video the UC Irvine professor says that children from low income families use screens on average of 3 more hours per day. No, the main goal of school should not be to teach children how to use screens effectively. The main goal should be to teach one how to think. Once a human learns foundational skills like dexterity, hand eye coordination, logic the learning of pushing digital buttons on a flat screen is easy. Since 35% of the Sacramento Waldorf school graduating students go into STEM (science, technology, engineering , math) its clear that no tech till 7-8 grade did not stunt these humans from living in the modern world

There are more disadvantages to relying on them heavily than there are positives for using them all the time.

She went to one of the best universities in germany and now she’s a biologist. I think we have to realise that not one method of schooling is going to suit everyone

I visited a waldorf school here in Germany and grew up without a TV or video games at home. I believe it's great for children to be encouraged to play outside and also to learn to make actual thinks with your hand like, doing pottery, knitting, wood carving, welding etc. As a Teenager i wished we had programming classes and learned how to use different software. For instance during art classes it makes sense to use programs like photoshop and InDesign rather than just working with paper and brush. Also tuition is far less expensive here, ranging between 150 to 180 € per month. I wouldn't pay 30.000 Dollars (I guess it's for a year?) to send my children to a waldorf school.

I was skeptical about this at first. I thought the same things many people thought about their privilege, their ability to go outside easily, the fact that they won't have to worry about a job but these are students who will be in positions of power in the future just due to the genetic lottery. Maybe it wouldn't be bad for them to see the natural world and their fellow classmates as important and that way they may want to help make the world more like that for everyone. They will be privileged either way, so maybe making them connect with others is a good thing.

This isn't a good thing. It's all about maintaining a balance, not about completely shutting something out of their lives. When you do that, especially with children and teens, they're eventually going to rebel and go to the exact extreme opposite of things. Technology can be extremely beneficial in our lives. Teach them responsible use of technology and how to maintain a healthy balance with the use of phones, social media etc. Once these kids leave this environment and return to the "real world" you've alienated them from a society that actively uses technology 24/7 and they're either going to rebel or lose control because they haven't been taught control, they've been taught absence.

What they’re not mentioning here is that the Los Altos Hills school has “adjusted tuition”-they don’t turn people away for inability to pay. Other Waldorf Schools do this as well. Their fees aren’t any higher than many other private schools that are not as “good”. I’ve been to this school many, many times. Highly recommended curriculum, although it is not Christian, if that’s what someone is looking for, but so, so excellent in so many areas.

This is awesome. Many people on computers HAVE NO IDEA of what they are actually doing and cannot FATHOM the concepts BEHIND what they are actually doing. Examples can be how to research PROPERLY and obtain FIRST SOURCE INFORMATION AND PEER REVIEWED DATA AND ACTUALLY FIGURE OUT FOR YOURSELF IF THE PRIMARY SOURCE WAS VALID! Also, a GROWING NUMBER of Architectural and Engineering students don’t REALLY know the THEORIES AND HANDS ON APPLICATIONS OF WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY DOING OR DESIGNING AND RARELY CAN EXTRAPOLATE DESIGN FLAWS INTO THE REAL WORLD. (I have noticed this trend and it is VERY WORRISOME...especially when these people are learning to design buildings, roads, bridges, etc.). LOL Starting kids, “hands on”, is an awesome foundation. ANYONE CAN PICK UP COMPUTER SKILLS LATER ON - if they really choose to do so. “Spell check”, is a useless nightmare - it creates more errors than it actually solves. And people NEVER LEARN to spell. There is something intrinsically beneficial to the mind and body by PHYSICALLY LOOKING UP A WORD OR LOOKING UP A GRAMMATICAL RULE. PHYSICALLY RESEARCHING something creates new pathways in the brain and facilitates ACTUAL learning. I WAS APPALLED to find out that some USA schools stopped teaching script in school. Learning cursive writing activates a different part of the brain than typing or writing block letters. (After not writing cursive for a time, I find that I have to concentrate more to get a proper fluidity in connecting the letters). I still feel that the more hands on you are, the stronger your intellectual acumen - and this may even stave off dementia latter in life. There have actually been studies on French Nuns and their very low incidence of dementia; because they always keep mentally stimulating their minds all throughout their lives.

When I was a junior in high school they gave us all laptops and said “school work is now all online” and I was unable to learn well without writing. It was a big switch from taking written exams to digital exams, writing in and filling in class work with pencil was easier than typing in my answers into some program. It was a tough switch and honestly, if we were introduced younger it would be easier to adapt to it
