Small Business Reference Guide for Home Based Business, Small Manufactures, Self Publishers, Entrepreneurs, Craftsmen, Retailers, Writers, Artists Written by Eugene Schwartz Customer Reviews I have heard Eugene Schwartz lecture in many settings, and I always assumed that his remarkable combination of erudition and hipness, intensity and humor, could never be captured in a book. That is, until I read "Millennial Child." This is a book that places the "alternative" Waldorf schooling method squarely in the modern world. The first part of this book is a powerful and insightful critique of twentieth-century childrearing theories, with a look to the cascading damage they have done our children. The rest of the book examines the contributions that Waldorf schools may make towards the healing of today's children.

Extractions: Education. It's one of the most important parts of childhood. And one of the most controversial. For years, we have been arguing over which are better: public schools, private schools, home schools, alternative schools But how does it really break down? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Is there really a method of education that stands out as being clearly better than the rest? I have my opinion, as do probably most of you. I don't think it's a very difficult thing to analyze, but from what I've seen, the arguments often revolve around unimportant things like admissions and testing and vouchers and so on. The truly important things are what I will focus on. In the sections that follow, I'm going to share with you some of the conventional wisdom of the day, as well as some of the common misconceptions. Let's start with: Public Schools I went to a small public school in a rural area. My graduating class had about 125 students. At the time I was a student there, the grading system was tough. A 75 percent was the lowest you could achieve without failing. A 90 percent was still a "B." Some said this was a great idea it made the students strive for higher grades to pull out that "A" a 93 instead of a 90. On the other hand, it was balanced with an idea that was as stupid as the other was good: the highest grade one could get was a 98 percent. Why? Well, the best reasoning I could come up with was this: "No one is perfect." A 100 percent would imply perfection, and that just couldn't be.

Extractions: By William Ward View the PDF version T he playful artistry of Living Alphabet speaks to the heart of childhood. These lively illustrations, so filled with color, movement, eloquent gesture, and invention, conjure up long-forgotten memories of books from a time when pictures were still alive and spoke with power. Each page is a magical door opening to the bright realm where stories are enacted, a realm of wonders accessible to children, artists, and all those in whom the light of imagination shines. Living Alphabet The inspiration behind Living Alphabet The twenty-six illustrations in this book offer a mirror whereby we can reflect on the qualitative differences between our utilitarian, onlooker consciousness as adults and the open-hearted, participatory vision of childhood. With advanced imaging techniques, neurophysiologists of cognitive science may well speak of mylenization of neural fields as synapses fire, networks form, and the plasticity of the developing brain is inscribed by repeated patterns in the neo-cortical centers associated with language acquisition. Whatever scientific model is proposed as the physiological basis of thinking, it is crucial for parents and educators to realize that the spoken word, saturated with warm feeling and evocative picture content unlocks the treasure house of imagination and cultivates the ground of future intellectual development. The empathic inner world of imagination, resonant with associations and intuitions, expands soul experience beyond the material world into the world of meanings and ideas.

Extractions: 16 lectures by Rudolf Steiner This important course on education shows how the healthy development of the physical body forms the basis for the free development of children's soul and spirit. Too often in modern education, the enthusiasm for imparting information becomes a substitute for developing human faculties. This can lead to an overtaxing of memory and inner exhaustion of students instead of healthy development. In Waldorf education, the emphasis is on the efficient use of soul energy in developing real capacities in children. The aims of Waldorf education are to arrange the entire teaching in such a way that within the shortest time the maximum amount of content can be given to the pupils with the simplest means possible. This helps the children to retain an overall view of their subjects, not so much intellectually but very much with regard to their feeling life. It is obvious that such a method makes great demands upon the teacher. I feel convinced that if a teacher applies this method - which I should like to call a teaching based on "soul economy" - he or she will have to spend at least two or three hours of concentrated preparation in order to teach for about half an hour . . . this kind of private preparation is of fundamental importance.

Extractions: Practical Arts Hallmarks of the H.S. Admissions Academic Program Humanities ... News By the time they reach high school, Waldorf students are confident and their fingers are nimble. They are familiar with knitting, crochet, cross-stitch, and hand and machine sewing. Their minds have been stretched to think three-dimensionally and to create patterns for stuffed animals. They have also been introduced to the sewing machine with its mystique of buttons and burst of speed. Through a broad range of handwork experience, the students have encountered creative impulses in one another. Is it any wonder that these same students are later able to design baskets, create rich woven fabrics, or bind books in the high school? Twelfth Grade handwork involves the selection of an individual project to be designed and completed over the course of the year. The student, with a sense of confidence and professionalism, now desires to delve into a particular craft to see where he or she might contribute something unique.

The Waldorf system, started by Austrian philosopher and scientist Rudolf Steiner in 1919 at the end of World War I, is the fastest-growing independent school movement in the world. However, the system is not without critics who think the schools are inherently pagan, often racist and covertly religious.More than 800 Waldorf schools exist worldwide, including 170 in the United States.
