It is not possible for you to prepare in the way you should. We first need to develop what can be fruitful in our methodology, otherwise we would slowly come to teach language such that what we fail to achieve by a better method is much worse than what we could partially achieve by a lesser method. We could easily slip into the calamity that because we do what is better poorly, we cannot keep up with what other schools achieve. In spite of that, I want to be perfectly clear that it is possible within the normal school day to achieve the ideal through rational work so that the children are spared tiring homework. Unfortunately, that is not of interest everywhere. In practice, certain things are still missing, and for that reason, I believe we must initiate a kind of modified homework. We do not want the children doing pages of arithmetic at home. However, we can give them literature and art history problems to solve at home. We should also encourage those who are more industrious and want to do something at home, but we should be clear that we do not want to overburden them. They should not feel they are groaning under the weight of their homework. They need to do it happily, in which case assigning them a task has a genuinely good influence. For instance, you could have them create an equation in the form of a short story, “A lady is asked.…”","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Thirty-Fourth Meeting","site_heading":null,"date":"1922-06-21","location":null,"word_count":257,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/300b/1922-06-21/p036","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"established","translator":"Ruth Pusch and Gertrude Teutsch","identified_edition":"AP1998","book_title":"Faculty Meetings with Rudolf Steiner I","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA300b/English/AP1998/19220621d01.html","evidence":"lecture_list_row","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.

Es kann die Vorbereitung nicht so sein, wie sie sein sollte. Wir müssen das Fruchtbringende unserer Methodik erst herausarbeiten. Sonst kommen wir allmählich tatsächlich [in der] Ausarbeitung des Sprachlichen [dahin], dass das nicht gelungene Bessere viel schlechter ist als das halbwegs gelungene bloß Gute. Wir könnten sehr leicht in die Kalamität hineinkommen, dass wir deshalb, weil wir das Bessere schlecht machen, nicht die Konkurrenz mit den anderen Schulen aushalten könnten. Ich möchte trotzdem - ich bin mir vollständig klar darüber, dass man innerhalb der reinen Unterrichtsstunden bei rationellem Betrieb zu dem Ideal kommen kann, das die Kinder ermüdende Hausarbeiten zu ersparen. Aber es wird halt noch nicht überall so interessant. In gewissen Dingen ist die Praxis noch nicht da. Deshalb glaube ich doch, dass man zu einer Art modifizierter Hausarbeiten kommen muss. Wir werden die Kinder im Rechnen nicht heftelange Hausarbeiten machen lassen, aber wir werden den Kindern zu Hause, wobei wir etwas individualisieren, auch auf dem Gebiete der Literaturgeschichte und Kunstgeschichte, Probleme zu lösen geben; [diejenigen, die fleißig sind, anregen, dass sie gerne zu Hause etwas üben], wobei wir uns überzeugen, dass wir [sie] nicht überlasten. Sie dürfen nicht das Gefühl kriegen, dass sie an den Aufgaben ächzen. Sie müssen es gern machen, und da ist es wirklich von großem [Einfluss], wie man die Aufgabe gibt.
