Beks, are YOU MissBab?

 

[Rebekka]

Beks, are YOU MissBab?

How dare you insinuate such a thing!


(Oooh - I like the colour scheme of those smilies! I went to a Waldorf school, I'm into rainbowy colour thingies. )




















I mean, yes, I am her.

 

[Rebekka]

Hey Miss Shelby- that makes three of us. Mike has the same cat, too. (Susan.)




So, this begs the question: are MikeK, RebekkaH and Miss Shelby really the same person???? Scary indeed!

.

Do you mean a Rudolph Steiner school? They are free in Germany but elsewhere you have to pay. Are those schools free in the Netherlands or do you have to pay to send children there? (I have many children and would like them all to go to Steiner schools.)

 

[Ms.Babylon]

honest engine, elf, I am not Ms. Babylon.

But Ms. Babylon is someone who equals me in coolness.

and I pm'd you on your other account.

Being equal to you in coolness is quite a compliment.

Arrrrrrghhhh!!!!! NOOOOOOO!

Yes, a Rudolf Steiner school. LOL, they are called Vrije School (Freie Schule) over here, which translates as "Free School", but while they are not private (almost all schools are public here, sort of, including catholic schools - private schools are so rare that they're practically nonexistent), they are not exactly free: parents have to pay for expenses such as drawing paper, wool, paint, etc. So it's more expensive than an average 'public' public school, because more expensive materials are used. But nothing like a private school in the US would cost, I think, or a public school (I mean a private school) in the UK.

So, I don't know.

 

[Rebekka]

Arrrrrrghhhh!!!!! NOOOOOOO!

Ummmm... yes?

*sob* I'll never think about OBOBers in the same way again!
We had a Waldorf school in the county I went to school in (they're not very common in Britain, but we still have a few) and this meant that I met quite a few students from the Waldorf school when I went to college. Based on what I've seen, I think it was a better method- these students were much more relaxed and confident.

LOL, well, I'm not so sure I'm more confident - but that's because I was bullied a lot.

What I did have, though, was an advantage of years when it came to general knowledge, religion, mythology, history, grammar, foreign languages (English, German, French), and a sensitivity to artsy stuff (good musical education), and a love for nature. Oh and a very good handwriting.

I only did the primary school. Secondary education was a catholic grammar school, after that a catholic university (you know which one ). So that's how I noticed the advantage.

It has its drawbacks - I don't agree with all of Steiner's ideas, and sometimes it takes a few years before kids learn how to read well. Same goes for maths. If kids are weak in those departments, parents need to give extra attention to that I think. But overall, I'd do it again, and if I had kids I would send them to Waldorf primary school.

I have the impression that Benedicta is hiding in a sockpuppet. Haven't seen her around lately....

Maybe she's Babylonia?

 

[Victrixa]

There's Shannon too.... maybe she's MadamButterfly?
('I have a lot of children' said MadamButterfly....)

I thought you were MadamButterfly - and that thing about children was to fool me.


But yes, I've thought of Shannon too.

you're actually way cooler. I think it's the maturity level. I mean you are like a hundred or something.

 

[Miss Shelby]

(where is Mike?)

I dunno, but he was sure quite today. I hope he's not bummed out about anything.

 

[MissBabylon]

Yeah, how does she do that. I don't know many her age who are so good with computers and all.

 

[MissBabylon]

Either he is busy, or he feels left out, or he thinks we're crazy, or he's Babylonia.

 

[HibernationElf]

I'm a sock.

Greetings!

Welcome to the madhouse

I went to a Steiner school too, for Kindy to Year 10. I thoroughly recommend them.

Oh yeah, I went to Steiner kindergarten too.
