Steiner Schools...a step to far? - erutufon|nofuture

**Tec** · 11th July 2005

Would you send your kids to a Steiner School?

I would.

FiST · 11th July 2005

maybe, are they not well expensive tho?

gypsy_cream · 11th July 2005

rudolf steiner schools?

decadnids · 11th July 2005

depends. - i've heard mixed reports about the philosophy behind the schools.

gypsy_cream · 11th July 2005

i dont think i would.... the steiner school here - all the kids were properly bullied by the schools next to it

dirtyho · 11th July 2005

I worked for someone in Brighton who'd sent their kids to a Steiner school and then withdrawn them because of weirdness there. His kids were nuts but I don't know whether him or the Steiner School were more to blame.

I think u can do a Phd in Dredlock linquistcs there.

maybe for a few years, for nursery or reception or something but then they would have a shock at mainstream school. at the one in brighton they only eat lovely organic food and one day a week everyone cooks their own lunch or something equally nice-sounding.

What's a steiner school?

**Orang Utan** · 11th July 2005

Rudolph Steiner was pretty keen on eugenics, though I'm not sure if the Steiner schools are as keen

**Tec** · 11th July 2005

Happy times school system.

Yes, like Bernard- Shaw, Marie Stopes, Woolf and many a forward thinking left-winger of the Edwardian era and beyond.

**Tec** · 11th July 2005

I'm gonna send my sprog there, better that than the warzone that are Hackney State schools.

"what did you do today James Jnr?"

Interesting.

Perhaps they should just give teachers less ridiculous paperwork to do and stop testing 8 year olds.

gypsy_cream · 11th July 2005

normal schools in england look horrible with all those test systems!!

Quite, everyone was at it - it didn't seem such a repulsive idea as it does now. I guess WW2 had a lot to do with this.

Jeniffer Mills · 11th July 2005

Here it`s called "Waldorf Schule" ...I think the kids who go there turn quite weird......

Smackbaby · 11th July 2005

I went to what was supposedly a liberal arts school in spain.

It was fucking horrible.

Acid casualities talking about the grateful dead all day.

nah you pay what you can afford based on your earnings... well at the one in York. I'm a steiner kid.

Allot of 'problem' children get sent to them, tho I can remember a few getting kicked out as well. Same as any school you get some straight up folk who do well n idiots that don't.

I also went to the one near stroud n that was quite strict. N not very 'hippie' like at all.

sweaping generalisations suck... but I supose that's what forums produce.

gypsy_cream · 11th July 2005

the one here is mostly kids from parents who vote conservative and are pretty wacky and rich...or atleast it used to be like

when i was at school i had friends from steiners down the road and they used to tell me all the cool shit they got up to in school but i didnt envy them gettin beaten up or shouted at by other school kids pretty frequently

FiST · 11th July 2005

i went out with a girl that went to the steiner school in edinburgh, she had some funny stories about the place but she was a bit mental really.

mattgloss · 11th July 2005

I'm fucking normal

gypsy_cream · 11th July 2005

i dont think every steiner school is the same........im just talkin bout my experience with the edinburgh one and my friends from there

do I swear allot? I went from the age of 11-16 so not all the way through... prior to that I went to preaty grim schools in Leeds n they sucked in comparison. I had a great time... the one in York is really good.

The smaller less organised ones do seem to be a bit more whacked out tho.

gypsy_cream · 11th July 2005

what one did you go to?

hobo · 11th July 2005

some of my friends were raised in a steiner community - camphill - they're all really nice people wo wants to be normal anyway?

Paddy · 11th July 2005

used to know a steiner kid. he was a rich cokehead, but he was alright.
