According to the Waldorf system of education, or the "Waldorf pedagogy," as it is referred to, children before the age of seven - or more precisely, until their adult teeth have come in - are in a very dreamy state of consciousness, and should not be awakened from it. Waldorf educators, who often quote from Wordsworth that children come into the world "trailing clouds of glory," believe that young children's task is to orient themselves in their physical body, and to develop their will. Children at this age learn through imitation. To attempt to engage children's intellect at this point, Waldorf teachers believe, is possible but a disservice to the children. For that matter, it is a disservice, according to Steiner, to attempt to engage their emotions, which are also not ready to be awakened. The fantastical imagery and story content of fairy tales speaks to children at this age, Waldorf educators believe. The tales are instructive in the sense that they generally contain some kind of implicit lesson, and evil is always vanquished. Fairy tales have happy endings. Waldorf teachers may draw from nature stories and fairy tales from all over the world, but they don't change their content: They want to remain faithful to what they consider more or less a historical, cultural, and supernatural record. Even the fairy tales collected by the Grimm Brothers, violent though they are, are not amended, though the violence is not made graphic or dramatic.

Waldorf-style school stirs controversy
Parents claim charter school is not religious
Marin Independent Journal/August 3, 2003
By Nancy Isles Nation
Parents in the Ross Valley are asking the school district to establish a Waldorf-inspired charter to educate the "whole child" but they could run into opposition from others who think such a school should not be publicly funded. The parents who developed the 88-page Waldorf proposal say the program would take a Waldorf-based approach but will not include religious aspects associated with the private schools. Critics, however, say the Waldorf method has no place in publicly funded schools because it is based on religion and violates the Constitutional division between church and state. Parents submitted the proposal to the Ross Valley School District Board of Trustees on June 10. The district has 30 days under state law to hold a public hearing on the issue. The board has scheduled a meeting for 7 p.m. Thursday at the district office. The board is not scheduled to make a decision at that time. "We don't have any position on it now. We are looking at it and studying it," said Superintendent Pat Davis.

Waldorf schools, which began in the esoteric mind of the Austrian philosopher Rudolph Steiner, have forged a unique blend of progressive and traditional teaching methods that seem to achieve impressive results intellectual, social, even moral by Todd Oppenheimer The online version of this article appears in three parts. Click here to go to parts two and three.
RIVING down out of the foothills of Yuba County, California, at dawn recently, past wide, flat fruit orchards, abandoned stony gold mines, and endless river levees, I asked my escort, Ruth Mikkelsen, the principal of the local school for juvenile offenders, what the area's main industry was. "Methamphetamine," she said with a chuckle. Yuba County lives with some of California's most dismal demographic statistics. Its unemployment rate is 12.8 percent, twice the state average. Teen pregnancy rates and the proportion of children on welfare are among the state's highest. The county sends a larger percentage of its adults to prison than any other county in the state. It also has the highest proportion of children classified as low-income (68 percent), and the state's stingiest dads when it comes to child-support payments. Discuss this article in More on in The Atlantic Monthly and Atlantic Unbound.

Drawings inspired by Renaissance paintings, detailed etchings and multicolored woven wool scarves decorate the halls of the Washington Waldorf School in Bethesda. Surely, this must be an arts school.
No, but the arts play an important role in Waldorf education, the teachers say.
"We make a dedicated effort to make arts part of the mainstream education," says Linda Sawers, a high school humanities teacher and chairman of the high school.
Mrs. Sawers goes on to say that visual art, music and dance, as well as wood and textile work, are taught not just for the sake of the arts, but as a way to teach subjects ranging from math to history at this kindergarten-through-12th-grade Waldorf school.
"The first- and second-graders learn to knit," says handwork teacher Barbara Buchman. "It teaches eye-hand coordination, and the eye movement that it requires is a good preparation for reading."

var TlxPgNm='id13'; Men are reluctant to pass over from the notion of an abstract and negative deity to the living God. I do not wonder. Here lies the deepest tap-root of Pantheism and of the objection to traditional imagery. It was hated not, at bottom, because it pictured Him as a man but because it pictured Him as king, or even as warrior. The Pantheist's God does nothing. He is there if you wish for Him, like a book on a shelf. He will not pursue you. There is no danger that at any time heaven and earth should flee away at His glance . (C.S.

The Religious Basis of Waldorf Education
by Viola Larson
The Waldorf School method founded by Rudolf Stiener was, several years ago, (1996), accepted as an alternative method for teaching in the public school system. In Sacramento, California, The Oak Ridge Elementary School used the Waldorf system. Administrators and teachers had hoped Waldorf Education would meet the needs of their culturally diverse school. Indeed, the Waldorf emphasis on folk tales, nature, music and art appeals to the romantic and cultural part of our humanity. However, while it is important that parents and educators search for and use superior teaching methods for public schools, there is a fundamental problem connected to the use of the Waldorf method. The most basic issue is Waldorf's foundation in the Occult. Occultic systems generally include supposed knowledge about the universe that is obtained by spiritual and/or esoteric means. Occultism further implies the use of esoteric methods to gain power or control over physical and/or spiritual forces. It is rather like spiritual technology. A foundation in the Occult means that the Waldorf Schools are essentially religious.

community diaries shop Preschool Prep Series: The Waldorf Method by Tara Swords Georgia Klenn was never content with traditional schooling. She taught seventh-grade math while pursuing a degree in education, and was so dissatisfied that she cried nearly every night. "We did a block on percentiles," she says. "If I gave them the formula, they could plug into the formula and get an answer. But when I gave them a word problem and they had to think for themselves, they couldn't do it." Frustrated, Georgia knew she didn't want to spend her life programming children to recite memorized facts. She wanted them to think. So when she heard of a style of teaching called the Waldorf method, Georgia knew it was the answer. "Even before I had kids, I read about it and started crying. I thought, 'I wish I taught that way.' It's absolutely incredible." Defining Waldorf
The Waldorf method that so intrigued Georgia was founded by a man named Dr. Rudolph Steiner in the early part of the twentieth century. He believed very strongly that education should not only engage the minds of children, but the bodies and spirits as well. These elements are not treated as separate; the Waldorf method is designed to educate all of them in concert. "[Children] are 'sense' beings," says Waldorf teacher Steve Johnson. "They smell and see and taste a great deal and we try to appeal to that." That philosophy was enough to convince Georgia Klenn to enroll her son Zachary in a Waldorf school, where he's been learning from Steve Johnson for most of the past six years.

    Homeschooling Methods - Part 1 of 4
    by Natasha Campbell
    Once the decision to homeschool is made, a second decision is faced. How? Families who choose to homeschool can be surprised at the various styles and methods of homeschooling. Words like "electic," "decompression," and "umbrella" are thrown around as if by some magical spell homeschooling parents understand what they mean. What is the difference between the Charlotte Mason method and the Waldorf method? Aren't unschooling and deschooling the same thing? In this first of four articles, formal homeschooling, unschooling, and deschooling with be explained and their pros and cons outlined.
    Formal Homeschooling AKA: School at Home
    This style is similar to traditional school. The area set aside to homeschool may resemble a miniature classroom with desks, bulletin board, etc. Each day is scheduled out, and a curriculum of math, science, social studies, language arts, and physical education is followed. The curriculum is either purchased or put together by the family. Grades are given for work, and work is expected to be turned in by a due date. The parent keeps track of grades and makes lesson plans for what needs to be covered. Formal homeschooling works best for a family that needs or enjoys structure, and who have the resources to set up a schoolroom and/or purchase curriculum. Formal homeschooling can ease the worry about missing something important in a child's learning.

The teachers embrace Rudolf Steiner's pedagogical model of the child, which stresses natural developmental rhythms and from which the Waldorf curriculum has emerged. Within this framework, the teachers select and present subject matter using new or traditional approaches tailored to the learning needs of each child. The instructional method emphasizes the whole child and frames its academic components within an artistic, creative and imaginative context. The school is staffed by exceptional instructors who embrace the vision and mission of the school. The teachers are Waldorf-trained or, if not, are knowledgeable enough about Steiner's model of the child so they can successfully teach children the curriculum.

Despite a sometimes-bitter fight to keep them out of the soon-to-be-abandoned Milwaukie Middle School site downtown, Waldorf officials say they're anxious to introduce themselves to the community - and say they want to give their new neighbors a peek at the Waldorf way of doing things. "The academic subjects are all woven together," explained Lauren Johnson, a Waldorf parent in the school's development office. (Many Waldorf staffers and administrators are also parents of students at the school.) "The arts and movement and handwork are all woven together to enhance the academic subjects." The program has drawn fire from a small contingent of critics when the Waldorf Method has been mingled with public education - a mingling that won't be happening in Milwaukie (see sidebar, page A?). Critics elsewhere have accused Waldorf schools of everything from academic laxity to teaching an occult philosophy. The program fosters individual creativity and exploration, de-emphasizes electronic media, encourages students to work with their hands and embraces such offbeat concepts as the dance-like art of Eurythmy.

    Critics say the public schools' teaching method is religious
    Sacramento Bee/March 31, 2003
    By Bill Lindelof
    John Morse Waldorf School in south Sacramento and the Yuba River Charter School in Nevada City are once again targets in a legal battle that seeks to ban any public school in America from using Waldorf teaching methods. The group that filed the lawsuit against them contends that the Waldorf system cannot be separated from founder Rudolf Steiner's religious philosophy so the public Waldorf schools are sectarian and ineligible to receive taxpayer dollars. Debra Snell, president of People for Legal and Nonsectarian Schools and a former Waldorf parent, said it boils down to a question of fairness. "If Catholic or Lutheran schools cannot be publicly funded, then neither can Waldorf, " she said. Her organization has filed a federal lawsuit in Sacramento contending that the public Waldorf schools violate the constitutional separation of church and state. Those who run the Waldorf public schools say the lawsuit is unfounded and misses the point. "We teach about religion, but we don't teach religion," Principal Cheryl Eining said of her 270-student school in the Sacramento City Unified School District.

    http://www.geocities.com/waldorfhomeschool/page3.html
    We are a Waldorf inspired homeschooling family. My name is Debra and my husbands name is Mick. We have two children Trevor is nine and Christopher is six. We live in a semi rural community on the outskirts of the Perth Metropolitan area.
    My husband and I knew our children would always be schooled under a Waldorf system whether at a school for at home. I began looking into a Waldorf homeschooling about five years ago. I obtained as many resources and read as many web sites as I could find. I decided (after about two years of reading) that it was possible to homeschool using the Waldorf method. There began my journey to decide what curriculum and resources to use. I felt having a curriculum would free me up on deciding what to teach and allow me to devote my time to how to present the ideas. I decided I liked sections from different sources so I use those for my basics and add or change to suit my situation. I find they give me great suggestions for what can be done but ultimately it comes down to me as to how we go about it.
    We have been homeschooling for about three years now and each main lesson I give seems to be getting easier to do. I am not so concerned now about doing the right thing according to others and I am better able to judge when my children are ready for things.

    The Charter Schools federal court case - is Waldorf education religious? By Robert Freehling
    NNA-B A C K G R O U N D:
    For some years now, People for Legal and Nonsectarian Schools (PLANS) has been pursuing legal action against two school districts in the US state of California for using Waldorf teaching methods. PLANS claims that the Sacramento Unified School District and the Twin Ridges Elementary School teach religion in their schools in breach of the US constitution because their teaching is based on Waldorf education methods. The schools dismiss the charge and respond that while they successfully apply the Waldorf method in their teaching, they do not teach the content of anthroposophy or Rudolf Steiner’s writings. In the most recent development, the Sacramento federal district court threw out the case on the grounds that PLANS lacked standing to be a proper plaintiff. The case is by no means finished, however, since PLANS has already submitted an appeal. Robert Freehling presents the background to the case. Sacramento, 19 September (NNA)

    How do you Home Educate?
    Everyone has the right to educate their own child: it is something that has been happening since the beginning of time and it makes sense that this is what people should turn to at a time when the education system fails. In principle, how you educate your child is a matter that concerns only you and your immediate family: you are the ones who know what is best for your children: interference from outside rarely makes things better and often makes things worse. It can, however, be helpful to know how other parents in a similar situation to yourself have answered questions such as 'Should we do regular lessons?', 'Should we follow the national curriculum?', 'Should I panic if my child will not look at a book?', 'Should I tell the Local Education Authority that I am home-educating?' etc. The answers vary from child to child.
    The page of home-education links has links to home-education sites that provide information about support groups, discussion groups and web rings that should make it possible for parents to make contact with other people in a similar situation to themselves.
