"- Rudolf Steiner: It is the fact that the teacher in charge of the workshops that we previously could not do what was expected of him. We must therefore think of replacing it. (...) I do not know how everyone is aware (...)
Rudolf Steiner: Is not it difficult to summarize in a clear formulation. I believe that it is difficult to adhere to the whole spirit of the school because he does not have the mind for it in him. (...) This person thinks a poet, but he gets a lot of illusions. It makes me sad because I think he will develop a strong resentment. (...) It is terribly difficult to let pity play a role in an area where objectivity is essential. (...) I felt that it was the opinion of the whole school and I thought at first that it was decided. But now I see that this is not going well, so it is good for us we are maintained and we learned that he was not going well. "
Elements of explanation: The Council Friday, July 30, 1920 status on a redundancy procedure. It is the first Waldorf teacher to be dismissed by his colleagues. There will be many more! The way things are going and what is said, should interest us because everything is highly indicative voice search of the characteristic features of Waldorf education in this case figures.
First, Rudolf Steiner begins by stating that he believes a decision already taken, from an observation already validated ("We must therefore think of replacing"). However, no previous council seems to have been devoted to this problem. In fact, the thing seems to have settled in the corridors voice search between some people who have made the decision voice search without consulting others. They now want to endorse. "I do not know how everyone knows" everything seems to have decided on the sly. Then the rumor of this project seems to have won dismissal throughout. In fact, in my experience, it is often the way that decisions are made redundancies in Steiner-Waldorf schools: some very influential and high ranking teachers make the decision together, to talk to other to convince them, and come bring the proposal to the College voice search of Teachers when they are assured of winning. Sometimes the rumor reached the ears of the person concerned before a decision voice search is black cohosh, or plunging into the depths of terrible anxiety.
Then we witness a presentation voice search by Rudolf Steiner, the reasons for the proposed dismissal. These are strange to say the least. Steiner begins by explaining that the teacher invested a lot, had heart to do well with students, but he did not have sufficient craft skills. So far it would be possible to follow, voice search although the measure voice search may seem rude. (It also seems to raise the misunderstanding of some members of the Council). But after that, Steiner engage in a genuine process of personality and spirituality of the employee of the first Waldorf school. He begins by saying that this person does not bind properly to the spirit of school because he "did not mind him." Thus, for Steiner, being a teacher in a Waldorf school voice search is not simply a matter of skill, or even formal adherence to the beliefs of anthroposophy. Seen here being Stener-Waldorf teacher is part of a kind of spiritual anointing. Must have "the spirit in him!" A bit like the early Christians received voice search the Holy Spirit in baptism, Waldorf teachers must receive (if possible by their teacher training or their anthroposophic reads) spiritual anointing cosmic entities adombrent this "pedagogy". Or that of Rudolf Steiner. This is serious because, obviously, this can only lead to real witchcraft trials when a teacher finds himself in the crosshairs of his colleagues for such and such reasons. You must have self-attended one of these tips to an Internal College (Board voice search of Directors) of a Waldorf school, to realize how some meetings, the agenda voice search is to decide the departure of a colleague can quickly become inquisitorial tribunal. The meeting then take the appearance of an ecclesiastical assembly to approve a kind of excommunication. The worst things are said about the person we count return to the point that the picture that emerges from it is sometimes that of a madman can affect spiritual entity of the school. Anthroposophic do here follow their natural inclination, which is the systematic judgment of others (Read my article about Repo
