Transformational Teaching: Waldorf Inspired Methods in the Public School
"No Child Left Behind"?? Instead of dry, repetitive drills day after day, perhaps children in public schools would be truly inspired if they were presented with even a small bit of the deep, meaningful, creative, intellectual approach that develops with a well-balanced Waldorf education. If every teacher could read this book and perhaps visit a Waldorf school in session, our public schools might be far more engaging and community oriented.
