Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.

Thinking and learning about the Waldorf approach to education.
YARN - From the (shorter) Oxford English Dictionary:
Spun fibre of cotton, silk, wool, or flax.... fibre prepared for use in weaving, knitting...a fisherman's net...any of the strands of which a rope is composed...a (usually long or rambling) story or tale, especially an implausible, fanciful, or incredible one.
About Me
- Why Waldorf?
- I am the parent of two children early in their school years. I have a background in education which compels me to think about these things and to want to talk about them. The only time I have for this seems to be in the wee hours, so I'll try to blog about the experience of learning about Waldorf while my children learn through Waldorf. Why Waldorf? My children are happy, engaged and enriched, I think it makes me a better parent and - this is the school I wish I had gone to.
