For what reason, it isn't entirely clear but notions of karma and letting kids sort their karma out without interference has been mentioned many times on the web.<br /><br />We managed to get the school our kids went to to admit that they expelled them all because the oldest was being bullied and staff didn't stop it. Think about that for a second: they expelled without warning children who were having a fantastic time, because their sibling was being bullied and the parents were asking for something to be done about it.<br /><br />Is that a safe school to send your kids to? To make matters worse, that school also happens to be the headquarters of that country's Steiner federation.<br /><br />We did some research while we were just about to start mediating with the school through Human Rights and the results of that research were condensed into this short film:<br /><br />http://is.gd/mrgove<br /><br />And you can read about the outcome of the mediation here:<br /><br />http://is.gd/3yearsSteve Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14145787455201419082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196083762813918282.post-70125416320908132312014-03-13T01:51:49.317-07:002014-03-13T01:51:49.317-07:00Thanks, I was worried the kids only do 3 GCSEs I&#...Thanks, I was worried the kids only do 3 GCSEs I'm not exam crazy but I would like both my kids to get the standard 5 to get choices when they leave school.Exsugarbabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06189133333004240819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196083762813918282.post-60108359894525195932014-03-12T13:36:07.237-07:002014-03-12T13:36:07.237-07:00I thought about sending my daughter to a Steiner S...I thought about sending my daughter to a Steiner School 10 years ago but decided against it because I was told that their ethos is to let the child develop at its own pace. My daughter is the sort who needs encouraging otherwise, like most other children, she will be happy to do nothing. For this reason I decided against a Steiner School.
