Steiner Schools

[London Calling]

The missus is looking at a Steiner school for our kids.

I know their is one in Brighton,

Has any one got any pro's con's or any other opinions on them?

LC?

Their grades in the Argus league table were rubbish

 

[Jam The Man]

If i had the dough and lived nearer i'd send mine to one...

Forgive my ignorance, but what's the difference between a Steiner School and your common or garden state school?

Steiner School kids have affluent hippy-type parents who believe in freedom of expression and like their kids to dance around waving sticks in the air.

Cool

 

[crasher]

They're weird schools with a fatuous new age "philosophy" which turns out weird kids. The sort who disappear off to Burma for four years to join the rebels and end up killing themselves in a squalid lonely bedist on returning to the UK because they don't fit in anywhere.

That's what happened to me.

They seem to educate the child and develop thought more than just cramming facts, however, I am fearful of the hippy factor, especially in hoody ville.

Unfortunately most of our local schools are crap and I mean crap.

If there was an un-religious version of the anti-Christ within education, it would be embodied in the concept of Steiner Schools. Mona basically has it about right - uncontrollable, unkempt, rude, self-obsessed hippies all called Moonchild or Bucephalas.

Oh, and the Steiner School is in Whitehawk.

LC, if you want your kids to have a diverse and fulfilling education away from the stultifying robotic monontony of being brain-washed by the state, send your kids to a Montessori school instead. I can think of a bloody good one in Brighton. And the kids in there are absolutely charming.

Tell them you go on North Stand Chat - it will open up all sorts of doors.

as one of our friends said of the whitehawk steiner school:

"18 years old, socially inadequate, can bake a cake but can't write, that's what that school does"

 

[Timbo]

I'm sure there's one out near Forest Row, I once shagged a bird who used to go there and she was weird.

Hope that helps.

 

[Ding Dong !]

You then become a scientologist !!!!!

One thing I've often wanted to know is what's the difference between Steiner and Montessori schools, to a naive observer like me, they seem to offer a similar sort of experience.

I once shared a house with a Steiner teacher and I certainly wouldn't have wanted to send my kids to a school where she taught

By the sound of it, its the sort of place Marina Pepper would send lottle Bodacia too. That woman is a fruit cake.

I also believe that the Steiner schools also do not offer any recognised national certificates like GCSE's...

They do "equivalents" but generally these are ignored by prospective employers etc etc

That is true and literacy within the fast food industry is at a record high....
