Quote of the week

This week's quotes are a little illustration of the Waldorf Pedagogy:

1. "If you've had the experience of binding a book, knitting a sock, playing a recorder, then you feel that you can build a rocket ship-or learn a software program you've never touched. It's not bravado, just a quiet confidence. There is nothing you can't do. Why couldn't you? Why couldn't anybody?" 
Peter Nitze, Waldorf and Harvard graduate, and Director of an aerospace company

2. "Waldorf students are encouraged to live with self-assurance, a reverence for life and a sense of service." 
Ernest Boyer, President, Carnegie Institute for the Advancement of Teaching, Former U.S. Commissioner of Education
