Wonderfully well-rounded. My daughter(high school graduate of the East Bay Waldorf School in El Sobrante, CA) is now 22, going to school to become an architect, while working for a local architect 36 hours a week. Every day I am happy for the outstanding schooling she had with the Waldorf curriculum.

And I have had children in one of the oldest schools , visited several others, and have friends who have had children in at least 4 schools. How about you?

100 yrs of practising deceipt; Steiner himself advocated keeping quiet about anthroposophy, as do teachers today, because they know ( and say- I've heard them) that this would put people off.

It must be a very stressful business being economical with truth to parents, and heaven knows how it affects karma, even in a spiritual way.......

I love Waldorf and miss it so much. I just wish my family could afford to send me back!

I constantly hear my fellow Waldorfians (yes, I am a waldorfian) complain that people think we are part of a cult. I had a wonderful experience as a Waldorf student, and I often have a difficult time explaining myself and Waldorf education in general. I hate to say it, but this video really isn't helping.

I personally have been going to a Waldorf school since 5th grade and I truly believe that waldorfs education is far better then public schools out there. At waldorf I feel like I am actuly learning something and that I will succeed in life. Just thought I would let you all know that the graduating class of last year in the high school, every student in that class was excepted into a 4 year college.

Why do I feel like I am being hypnotized? o_o don't like this video....

The thing I noticed about the teenagers is how relaxed and yet super-focused and in-the-moment they are. That's a rare combination of qualities in a teen.

i think the reason i had such a hard time in high school at Waldorf was that i joined Waldorf in 7th grade. It really is a huge shift from elementary to high school. You go from a really lax and innocent environment to a what i felt was incredibly rigid and challenging.

@Spirit1Love what is your criteria of a bad teacher in public school? And how have you come to this realization?
