Steiner education, should it be a choice available to parents through the sate system or not? If yes why....? If not why....? Just trying to gather a range of opinions, to enable debate.
from wikipedia: Steiner offered counsel on renewing the spiritual potency of the sacraments while emphasizing freedom of thought and a personal relationship to religious life. He envisioned a new synthesis of Catholic and Protestant approaches to religious life, terming this "modern, Johannine Christianity".
they can call it spiritual if they want but to me, spiritual is just religion light. i would not send a child to such a school.
it has been said that the difference betwene waldorf education (steiner education) and montessori's methods is that the former focuses more on the imagination. i used to teach drama at a montessori school and i am here to tell you i did not focus on technique; i focused on imagination.

@PalacinkyPDX i was not familiar with them at all and had to do some research before replying here, but i do have that experience of montessori.
oh... and you can use your imagination when you teach, and encourage kids to use theirs, too, but you can't teach imagination!
