I carpooled my children 20 miles out of the white suburbs into Detroit ghetto for 10 years. When they got back to "white" suburbia for high school they were open to class mates from various "cliques". I'm so proud of them as humans.

Lotuskwe пишет: All Waldorf School families, faculty and staff constantly raise funds for the financial aid program. Families apply each year as needed. If you're determined that this is the best education to meet your family's needs start by taking a scheduled tour, visit often the activities open to surrounding community and apply early. Do not leave it to your child to decide. YOU are your child's first teacher. The best decision I ever made for my young family was Waldorf Education for the children.


Lotuskwe пишет: Absolutely. Check on alumni updates at any Waldorf school office.
They are tracked, mostly by the students themselves revisiting, contacting their former schools, helping at events, alumni groups and FB now.

My children attend a Waldorf school in Silicon Valley and we have a tuition adjustment program that allows children from even very low-income families to attend our school if that is their first choice. It makes fundraising more challenging for us compared to other private schools with less economic diversity but it creates an enriching social environment for the children.

Dul пишет: Interesting news, this learning style is intriguing, but can it transfer kids properly to the American education system.

Little Saint Cecilia пишет: Yes, it can- in the sense that it is easy to be a waldorf student in our modern america. I have gone to a waldorf school since 7th grade. I am currently a junior in high school. Our high school does have a computer lab and we use math text books but other than that it is very much like the video describes. It is really quite a smooth transition in to any college. Transferring the curriculum might be difficult and may involve revisions but I certainly think it is possible.

Our daughter is now on her second year and we have seen amazing development in her. Thanks Mr. Gupta for sharing this wonderful way of educating children. I hope people will be awaken and appreciate how Waldorf can bring change in this world.

The original Sudbury school in MA has been around for over 40 years, and their students learn in freedom and joy, with no required classes, or homework, or tests! They learn what they want to learn, when they want to learn it -- and they mostly go on to colleges and do very well there. Unschooling works: my kids are now a librarian, and a paramedic!

You'll Need:

1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1/2 cup orange juice
2 cups diced cooked ham
2 Red Delicious apples, cored and diced
2 Golden Delicious apples, cored and diced
1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Procedures : In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and orange juice. Add ham, red apples, yellow apples and celery and toss until thoroughly coated, to ensure that the apples do not brown. Chill 4 hours or overnight.
Just before serving, toss in parsley. Serve on a bed of lettuce. NOTE: You may also add 1/2 cup halved seedless grapes, raisins, sunflower seeds or walnut halves
