@futurebird Oh interesting. On the west coast we call those Waldorf schools. Had to Google steiner.
With my dyslexic kid the idea of Waldorf schools terrify me. She'd never learn to read left to her own devices, because of the sheer amount of work and insane level of drilling she needs.
They'd never accept her anyway, as their success depends on filtering out disabilities. She got rejected at age 6 from a Montessori elementary school for it, and kicked out of a local Catholic school.
Any method that teaches without filtering knowledge through reading and writing am game for. I may talk to her teacher about spirographs if it will help her intuit fractions. She goes to a school for learning disabilities.
