96% of the graduates of Waldorf schools go on and graduate from normal, accredited colleges. That's higher than our national average. Who is more prepared for 'the real world'?
@Lukasclimbs: YOU ARE WRONG. You are mistaking the cause with the effect. They are not good because they are in this school, but they are in this school, because they are good. And they have rich parents, too. And because of that they go to the best colleges/universities. Whatever the highschool it would be, the result would be the same. So the parents are those, who "prepared them for the real world" ...
@@ultimathule1000 As someone who went to a Waldorf school for 9 years (in Europe) this is not true at all. In fact a lot of people (who obviously don't know anything about Waldorf education) consider these schools to be for people with disabilities or learning difficulties, so, at least in my school, there were always a load of people with disabilities or learning difficulties, and it was amazing to see how the school made them change, get more motivation, discover themselves and what they wanted to do with their lives and helped them overcome their difficulties. And while not everyone has ended up going to college, a lot of the people I know (who came in to the school kind of giving up on life) are doing great in their lives, have good jobs and are happy!
I think that this is fantastic. So many of us grew up this way and are still doing just fine working with technology. It is good to know that there are some places out there that still value learning (and teachers who know how to teach) enough to continue on with education the way it was intended.
In our teacher education classes, we were taught that we needed to use more technology to be truly effective and get in touch with our students. However, I don't use technology in my tutoring sessions, and I think that my methods are effective and I do have a good relationship with my students. Technology is useful and has its place, but we can't let it take the place of face-to-face interactions.
It's no coincidence tech giant innovators and their chief officers also keep technology to a minimum with regard to their kids, and many keep their kids in schools with very little screen time. People are so ignorant, and hyperconsumers so they don't see there's been a massive push for technology in the low income and rural classrooms in particular via free jumpstart donations for the first year or so, which really was a marketing ploy to create end users/customers for life. You allowed corporations into the classroom and to hijack your children in the home, for the rest of their lives they will ask for tech gifts, use their hard earned money for it as well. And remain hooked. Meanwhile these low income, urban and rural, areas will also continue floating bonds for you parents to continue purchasing this tech equipment for the classroom, which has NOT boosted intelligence, nor scores, and in fact is proven to disrupt their actual ability to store long term information, and effectively 'learn'. (Which is a good little consumer willing to throw money towards a device that will occupy and monopolize all of their time). The next area they are effecting your children is grooming them for the tech hive, teach them to code, so they will become the future low man employees on the totem pole, these tech corps can exploit working 50 hours a week making them rich. And they'll spoon feed it to the child as well as the parent that it's such a noble and intelligently enlightened position in the world. So they're already pigeon holing your child to be attracted to ONE thing with regard to learning, playing/entertainment, as well as a career... TECHNOLOGY. Personally, I too keep technology out of my kids' hands, but they can build a computer from scratch, but I also have reaped benefit from all of the other kids and parents buying into the scheme as I have several tech stocks that pay 6-8% dividends and continue to climb in share worth, and I also worked for a large firm for 15 years doing marketing with specific regional school districts. I find it fascinating how dumb our nation is to continue to fall prey to this and hook their kids up like zombies and applaud the lazy teachers for skipping hard books and going right for the throat on shoving the teaching duties off on to technology. If you're on the right side of the fence it's very lucrative, but a part of me feels sorry for those that are exploited on a daily basis. I guess it's just setting up the future for who will be the intelligent HAVES and who will be the mind numbingly dumb HAVE NOTS.
So obviously, technology has its time and place in education, which is seen during this pandemic where our children's homes have become the classrooms that prominently featured technology. I'm not going to push in either direction whether one should stay whereas the other should be gotten rid of. Tech, just like paper, pencils and textbooks have their advantages and disadvantages. I think that they should both be taught equally, tech when needed, paper and pencil when needed.
ha i cant use electronics i have one i just get 10 or 5 minutes now since corona we have online classes but paper they just mail it all to us but some of us that has mom teachers they just print our work out like my mom is a teacher and my dad just works on our horse farm but now i get more horse riding time but our teacher also send us mathbooks science books reading books and writing books
Many parents let their children use technology outside of the classroom. The students are very well prepared to use technology in the 'real world' when they graduate.
Doesn't take very long to learn to point and click either. You could wait until they're 15 before introducing it and there would not be much of a difference with regard to end user navigation.

WSP was my school for years, and I really miss it. Maybe one day I'll go back as a teacher. :)
There's a school in Glendale, Arizona that offers a classical education similiar to this school.

Is it government or private school?

Perfect! That's a huge contradiction!

I more like book than a laptop for study... because I can feel it haha

I guess those calculators aren't computers then 🤣
I love this
I don't know how these kids are taught but I took handwritten notes in history for 1 topic and I'm more than happy to be back to my computer.
2:29 that's my class☺
My school is tech free which I’m fine with that it shouldn’t be in a classroom it’s not good for schools to have tech
THIS VIDEO!!!
hahaha look at the girl in the back
