I have just had a great conversation with someone who has put their child into a Steiner school - all very positive.
Then talked to people about it during my lunch-break - all very negative.
I get that most people will look at any 'alternative' kind of schooling through very narrow eyes, as in we mostly all grow up thinking education is done in a certain way - the way were used to, with targets and framework and discipline...
So can anyone tell me how easy or difficult it has been to leave that behind when choosing to educate your child(ren) in an alternative way like Steiner or Home ed?
How do you make that commitment, how do you deal with comparisons to other children (friends/Family)?
Has it been a good or bad experience? would you recommend it?
