ICaneBud Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 It's an interesting and positive report but a pity they didn't compare any of the results of Steiner's biodynamic system having mentioned it. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBenn Posted May 31, 2002 Author Share Posted May 31, 2002 yep ICB I thought that too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICaneBud Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I'm interested cos one of our boys is at a Steiner Waldorf school which is far better for him than a state school but I still have a lot of reservations about Anthroposophy (Steiner's theosophy that underpins his theories on education and agriculture).

MrBenn Posted May 31, 2002 Author Share Posted May 31, 2002 Oh aye...now you've stimulated my curiosity even more...some reading to be done me thinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shpling Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 If you havnt already read "The Secret Life of Plants" Give it a go, its the most fantastic plant book ive ever read, they talk a lot about Steiner but cover so many unbelievable topics that its pointless me waffling about it. Just grab a copy off Amazon. As for Steiners Philosphy, he is pretty cool... his stuff is a bit outdated now, but I would rather my kids learn that than whats taught at public schools. Children have a way of extracting whats true for them and letting go of the bollocks, so dont worry about them becoming Steiner quiting new age lunatics. Better some reasonable spiritual education than none at all. Shpling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
