They then go on to painting the forms and gradually letters arise. A second teacher likes to do it differently. If you go into Class B you find that this teacher is letting the children “dance” the forms round the room, in order that they may experience the forms of the letters in their own bodies. Then she carries over these forms also into the letters themselves. You would never find uniformity of teaching in Classes A, B and C. The same things are taught but in completely different ways, for a free creative fancy holds sway in the class. There are no prescribed rules for teaching in the Waldorf School, but only one unifying spirit that pervades the whole. It is very important that you should realise this. The teacher is autonomous. Within this one unifying spirit he can do entirely what he thinks right. You will say: Yes, but if everyone can do as he likes, then the whole school will fall into a chaotic condition. For in Class V A, there could be goodness knows what kind of hocus-pocus going on, and in V B, you might find them playing chess.

Und das eigentümliche ist, kein Lehrer hat sich je dagegen aufgelehnt. Alle nehmen den einheitlichen Geist ganz freiwillig auf. Keiner lehnt sich auf, keiner will etwas extra haben. Im Gegenteil, es entsteht sogar oftmals die Sehnsucht, in den Konferenzen nur ja recht viel darüber zu reden, was in den Klassen sein soll.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":77,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/311/1924-08-13/p051"},{"locus":"GA 311/1924-08-13/p052","passage_number":52,"text":"Warum lehnt sich denn kein Lehrer auf gegen den Lehrplan?

Und jeder Lehrer hat bei uns das Gefühl, nicht nur daß er auf dasjenige kommt, was er selber wirklich ausdenkt und in seiner Phantasie findet, sondern ich gewinne immer mehr die Überzeugung - ob ich in den Konferenzen mit meinen Waldorf-Lehrern sitze, ob ich in die Klasse komme -, daß eigentlich jeder vergißt, wenn er in der Klasse ist, daß der Lehrplan einmal fixiert und aufgestellt worden ist.
