Steiner Academy Exeter has been working hard at getting parents to give feedback on the school on the Parent View page of the Ofsted website. So hard in fact that there are now more responses than children on the roll. I don’t know how this could be as you have to register on the site […]

Someone said to me on Sunday, “Who cares what Rudolf Steiner said a century ago?” Well here is an example of what can happen when so-called “teachers”, trained in anthroposophy are trusted to care for and educate the children of unsuspecting parents. It’s not new, but there are many other such descriptions from shocked and disappointed […]

In reply to “Little Thoughts”

It’s slightly strange having to justify myself to someone who goes by the name “Little Thoughts” but the comment on “Michaelmas” needs a response. Judging by the phrases used, he/she is not English, but the meaning is clear, and Steiner schools and the associated problems are the same all over the world. He/she may be a former Steiner student defending […]

Ou pourquoi les écoles Steiner-Waldorf ne sont en fait pas une pédagogie !

One of the serious defects of Steiner education, according to distressed families, is the way bullying is (not) dealt with. Teachers not only fail to intervene, but have punished the victims, rather than the perpetrators; some teachers seem to believe that some children can “deserve” to be victims because of “karma”. Victims have been expelled or prescribed extra “therapies” such as eurythmy. A commenter here […]

Teacher – Welcome to our Steiner-free Steiner free school. This is a new school opened at tax-payers’ expense. It’s not an official Steiner school, but we have a mission to indoctrinate, the same as any other Steiner school. We teach our own Steiner curriculum. (Whispering) Between you and me,  it’s pretty off the wall, but no-one actually reads […]

“What is the chance that one guy who died in 1925 would have stumbled across the last word in education?” asks a commenter on a forum. She goes on to say how just enough information is provided to satisfy mild curiosity, no more. This comment is useful in explaining what Steiner followers believe and how […]

Insight into a state funded Steiner Academy

Having watched boys and girls aged around 14 years old being made to do eurythmy in a Steiner school, I regard it as a form of abuse. It was frankly embarrassing to watch. The instructors are clearly getting some sort of spiritual kick out of the sessions, and I suppose in some strange way they think […]

Still on the subject of Steiner school inspection reports, here is another one that didn’t go so well – although this is not immediately obvious from the way it is written. A post on the Waldorf Review facebook page linked to the School Inspection Service and the Rudolf Steiner School Kings Langley, where an inspection was carried out in […]

A Steiner school in New Jersey was accused of unlawfully expelling a special needs student “due to the student mother’s advocacy”, according to a report in the local media “Princeton Patch“. Steve Paris alerted me to this story, and has written about it in detail on Steinermentary. He writes about how this method of blaming parents for […]

A new post on Steinermentary documents the reporting of an incident of alleged sexual assault in the Toronto media. The way such incidents are dealt with and the frequency with which they occur are analysed. Does a belief in karma play a part, and how does Steiner teacher training influence relationships with pupils? http://www.steinermentary.com/SM/Canada-TWA.html

The Waldorf Review facebook page links to a brief report in the Watford Observer, where a teacher at Kings Langley Steiner School has been suspended. Either this is the second teacher to be suspended recently, or it is the second time this teacher has been suspended; Rudolf Steiner School in Langley Hill, Kings Langley, previously investigated […]

An announcement followed in the press that the school had been saved by ‘Aurora Group’, who would be […]

The British Humanist Association has announced the launch of a new initiative Faith Schoolers Anonymous. The site, launched on the 16th of  May 2016 provides …a platform allowing anyone who has a problem at a ‘faith’ school to share their experience. I couldn’t agree more with this statement; Wherever a school, for reasons of religion, seeks to […]
