I'm planning to train as a teacher and I'm curious about the Steiner method. I've read the info on the website but I'm interested to know the opinions of people who have taught in or sent their children to Steiner schools, or went to one themselves, particularly where the teachers are fully qualified (as the name isn't protected). Are they as wonderful as they claim to be, or are there downsides?
(I also started a thread on Montessori schools. Does anyone have a preference for either?)
