Is the philosophy by which we choose to educate our children
responsible, at least partially, for the attitudes and general tone
of our societies? A recent Unicef report on wealthy countries
ranked the United States and the United Kingdom at the bottom of a
table that measured quality of life for young people across a wide
range of headings, including poverty, health, drugs, friendships
and happiness. Experts observed that the nations that performed
best in the survey have created 'child-friendly' societies in
which, for example, young people are not pressured to achieve
academically until their teens. In contrast, the culture of the USA
and UK is geared towards economic success, with education as a
means of sifting - through increasing testing - the high-achievers
who will produce the goods...Brien Masters - an educationalist for
over 50 years - argues that education has a central role to play
'in bringing into human lives those qualities that can take us
forward to a progressive future'. He proposes that Rudolf Steiner's
educational approach, as put into practice mainly in the Waldorf
schools across the world, is well equipped to enable this. In
"Steiner Education and Social Issues", via a series of short,
engaging chapters, and based on his broad personal experience of
teaching and teacher-training, Masters tackles a wide range of
modern social issues, including everything from drugs and nutrition
to boredom, the influence of TV, and multiethnic societies. This is
a wise and informative guide for parents, teachers and anybody
interested in the future development of our culture.
