When I was told this in class 8, our teacher also mentioned that it was this knowledge that the Steiner curriculum was based on. At the age of 6, you meet your class teacher, and they help you through the transition at the age of 7. They guide you for 8 years until your next transition at 14, when you are handed over to the able hands of your class guardian and upper school teachers.

Believe what you will, I think there's some truth in it, and I want my children to have that.

Sorry for not posting in a while. It's been a bit difficult for me recently. I'm currently in my last week of lessons before my GCSEs, and as pathetic as it may sound, I've been getting quite emotional about it. Once my exams start, I no longer have to come into school. Obviously we'll come in after the exams to mess about and have our last few days together, but the thought that I'll never be taught by my wonderful, amazing, long-suffering teachers is a strange thing. I'm going to miss them dearly and will never forget what they've done for me. Waldorf teachers are among the most wonderful people in the world, and while we do often have our differences of opinions, I know that my class and I will carry everything they have given us for years to come, whether we know it or not. So I'm going to try to enjoy every moment of this week. They're probably not going to read this (which is probably best because I may never hear the end of it) but I would like to thank them for everything, and I hope one day my children can be taught be people as wonderful as them.

To be free is to be capable of thinking one’s own thoughts - not the thoughts merely of the body, or of society, but thoughts generated by one’s deepest, most original, most essential and spiritual self, one’s individuality.
