I went to a normal school and it was brutal for me. I look back on my life and my general education was like serving a really long prison sentence for being a child. I left hating education, which I think is why I went on to take jobs that only required you to have control of your basic motor functions. I hated doing those jobs, which followed the pattern of working someplace for 6 months, then getting crazy bored with it and moving to another stupid job. However, after the internet happened, I found a whole new world of self education. I got into programming and language learning, and horticulture and now love learning and education. I've been working as a software engineer for about 3 years now --no thanks to school.

I graduated in eurythmy and did an internship at the Wlsfdorska school in Zagreb, and I can freely say that 99% of the children in the eurythmy class were bored and were not involved at all, either mentally or physically, in the offered, in my opinion, outdated and questionable artistic method.

No problem at all. Even if they don't know to use it they will learn easily when it's the right time. Fortunately they learn so many other things that computers for them is painful ... Good isn't? Less people sick in the world because of the drugs technology... They have time to enjoy the family, play with friends, walking in the nature and they are not looking at the scream even whe they are together with other people. I used to use my tablet and mobile for may hours per day. After my son has started studying in a Wardof Education , I have also limited myself and I am here for about one hour per day. And you know, I feel sooooo ggooooood!!!! If I see the benefit for my life, imagine for my son... Don't be afraid of not depending on technology. Meet people and having contact with the nature, are the best!!!!

Consider yourself fortunate that you did not go. Steiner schools offer substandard education and are cults. Those who go through Waldorf Schools need years of mental health help in order to recover from all the damage these schools do.... along with lots and lots of tutoring and remedial education, especially if you want to go into the sciences.

You say you went to a Steiner school in Australia. I was recently looking into one for my daughter who is due to start next year but when I dug I found a shitload of information and claims of abuse from emotional all the way to sexual. Apparently most teachers are ex students who married other teachers and one girl said that in year 9 kids painted nude portraits of themselves that were displayed in exhibitions on campus. Any thoughts? I was extremely disappointed because it sounds great in theory but I’m not going to pay a min of 4 grand a year for my child to be abused.

A lot of this stuff sounds great, especially about letting the new generations create their own mould through their expression and behaviour, rather than forcing them into our pre-existing one. But why hasn’t it been rescued from the connection with an eccentric Austrian occultist that had twice as many confused, hysterical and absurd insights, as he did genius ones? Why not cannibalise and extract the good, then build on that and update it with new findings. I’m sure this is basically what happens in Steiner schools, but why still have his name attached? We all know some teachers are gonna get a bit Scientology about all this stuff, and become unable to separate the rational insights from the racist and deranged ramblings regarding spirits, past lives and how the melanin levels in your skin betray your moral fortitude. Many white teachers will feel like they have been all the shades and have finally arrived at some higher level of karmic energy or whatever, it’s impossible to avoid when you claim this guy to be a genius about so much, “oh, but yeah, he’s wrong about all this?” This isn’t how the human brain works for many people. It’s like Islam, it’s hard to accept only parts of Koran, if some of it is flawed, than that could compromise integrity of the entire ideology.

@lauratassier35103 жыл бұрын
@@Frisky_FZR I always forget that Steiner schools aren't government-funded in most countries, and thus can do whatever the F they want. But to receive the funding they had to adapt the curriculum so that every child has approximately the same formal knowledge when going to secondary school as the children in regular school. Plus teachers need to have a "fundable degree" meaning that they all got regular teacher training first and Steiner training second because otherwise, the government won't pay their wages. I feel like this way the entire idea of letting children be children and learn on their own schedule but with the same endpoint works better than in unregulated private schools.
