high-stakes testing, does it hurt creativity or does it actually offer accountability? so imagine a school then, with no tests, no technology, and not even traditional textbooks, it s the waldorf way. in a waldorf school learning just looks different. instead of writing a book report on a literature lesson, they take that same story and create a play or a song. can go to a store and buy a new bit of technology and the man there can tell you everything how to do it. you get it home and you re clueless. when you ve done it, it really comes into your soul and into your limbs in a way that you never forget. it s true that most people learn by doing. and that s the innovative approach of a waldorf education. it s been around now for more than 90 years. we know, for example, how related math and music are in the brain. 36. minus 6 plus 1. 31. rhythm and using the limbs is
not just a tool but it stimulates their ability to think and especially in working with numbers. suki. the school keeps it simple. chalkboards, paper and pencil. no computers until eighth grade, and that s when the students actually take one apart and rebuild it. all of us learn in different ways. some of us are auditory learners. some of us are visual learners. some of us are kinetic learners. so the traditional way does not actually address all of those styles. the only textbooks you ll find at a waldorf school so the heart and the main arteries are the ones that the students create, based on their interpretation and retaining of the subject. see the face of the bear. what do they ask? and while subjects like knitting and hand working may seem frivolous to some, waldorf
