This piece speaks to my (Waldorf) heart which believes wholly that the true meaning of education is: to bring out what lies naturally and spiritually within. How we spoil (as in ruin the potential of) our children by robbing them of their naturally collaborative play and forcing them to forget their spirit for all the rote learning of facts. Sad. But let's stay optimistic and keep reminding people of alternative ways to approach education, community building and identity forming. Great job!
