BBbee, some of our kids have had very bad timea at steiner, at ours there was terrible bullying(ignored) teachers dragging kids about( par for the course) one of my kids singled out almost certainly 'cos they are quite dark( steiner believed in aryan superioty) another of my kids made to use right hand for stuff like knitting- left handedness is a karmic weakness)

All these things stem from the central guiding pseudo religion, occult spiritual science called anthroposhy, which the schools ether don't mention atall( as in our case,decieving and selling natural child centred crative education) or skim over the subject with phrases like "head heart hands" "thinking willing feeling"

Many people think they're behave like a cult.
The main purpose of the education is to help reincarnate children, guide them towards concealed truths , directing their souls towards a time when spirit beings will manifest themselves.

They are as bonkers as scientology

The bee is a 60 yr old anthroposophist who doesn't want this out in the open, so stalks and harrasses people who criticise and tell the truth about anthroposphy.
He has several websites, their main purpose being to direct people away from the reality behind the steiner movenment.

Sorry to ramble on, but you did ask (hides at bottom of page, ready to duck)

I want Sheik and everyone to come back and be funny about it.
The steiner threads are getting too heavy

99.9% of posters: "steiner / waldorf people are sinister nutters. it is all like a cult. they brainwash you. dont believe a word they say. they are dangerous and will damage you / your children"

0.1% of posters - "thebee"?!?: you are all crazed harpies. steiner / waldorf is a marvellous and beautiful thing. stop being horrid. i am not mad as a snake despite appearing to be.

ok? grin

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
