I was saddened to see that the Gaia "Waldorf" school is not a true Waldorf school when we went to the Spring fair.
The toys and crafts were made with acrylic yarn and fabrics. Steiner taught about natural fabrics and their importance.
I did not feel any reverence for the space, and when a child started girating to pop music I couldn't stand it any longer and left. Natural instruments with a pentatonic scale is more in Waldorf standing.
If the true Waldorf pedagogy was brought in to Gaia it has the potential of being beautiful. This would probably result in growing the school...
I went to Constantia Waldorf and have taught Waldorf, so am saddened by this school.
