    Great lens! I have always been interested in this character. I used to live across the street from the Canadian headquarters of the Anthroposophical Society, which he founded. How about adding a poll to this lens?

    Thanks for the page -- very thoughtful. Just curious that math and reading seem to constantly be hit on for Waldorf -- I see my children's reading and math work to be very well taught and very strongly emphasized. It's true that some aspects are sooner and later emphasized -- i.e. early math covers more operations (division/multiplacation) earlier than other schools, and reading is taught from the children's own writing. My 11th grader is taking college level course work, so it's frequently frustrating to see the myth of non-reading Waldorf students continue to circulate. I think the key is remembering that Waldorf is working deeply with the pace of child development according to the growing capacities of a young human being. Thank you, again!

    The reading example came from one of my class mates. At 6 she wanted to read and the school wasn't up for that, so she came to our (non-Waldorf) school. I'm NOT saying that Waldorf schools in general have a problem with reading - in fact, I'd say one of the strengths of Waldorf schools is attention to language. However, the more strict schools do start rather late with learning to read, which can be frustrating for intelligent kids.

    Glad to hear your obviously intelligent kid is thriving in Waldorf environment though. Sounds like a school that doesn't adhere to strictly to Steiner's age levels, which is precisely what that class mate of mine was up against.

    Steiner is my hero, I re-published (and hence) read his thoughts, my former teacher sent his son to a Waldorf school. I rejoice to see this well done lens. Kudos.

    There is so much about Waldorf education to love...the fact that all children participate in art and music everyday, for example. Singing is a daily activity; children start playing the recorder in first grade and by third grade they are playing stringed instruments.To me, art and music involve the emotions, which makes learning more meaningful. A very nice lens about a great man. Love and Blessings, Daniel

    OMG! I love Rudolf Steiner! He's one of my most favorite people in history! We've got one of his Waldorf schools not far from here, about a hours drive from my house.

    You don't very often find people who know who he is though. Usually when I mention him, people go "Who? Never heard of him."

    What a great lens! I love it!
