The so-called timetable, as we often have it today, does not take into account the fact that the human being is human. There is nothing less educational than teaching the child three quarters of an hour of one subject and then three quarters of an hour of something completely opposite. Three quarters of an hour of religion, three quarters of an hour of arithmetic, three quarters of an hour of writing and so on. In the Waldorf school, we try to get everything out of the laws that express themselves in the soul and spirit of the child. It is certainly necessary to do something, for example, arithmetic, for three, four, five to six weeks, without a timetable, and only when a certain amount of work has been done, you move on to something else. This is the concentration of teaching. At the end of the school year, everything that comes into consideration can be summarized by repetition. But the timetable is actually the enemy of every true art of education.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"5.

Dreiviertelstunden Religion, Dreiviertelstunden Rechnen, Dreiviertelstunden Schreiben und so weiter. Wir suchen in der Waldorfschule alles hervorzuholen aus den Gesetzen, die im Seelisch-Geistigen des Kindes sich selber aussprechen. Da ist allerdings nötig, daß man irgend etwas, zum Beispiel Rechnen, durch drei, vier, fünf bis sechs Wochen einzig und allein treibt, ohne Stundenplan, und erst wenn man ein bestimmtes Pensum aufgearbeitet hat, geht man zu etwas anderem über. Das wird Konzentration des Unterrichtes. Es kann dann am Ende des Schuljahres durch Wiederholungen alles, was in Betracht kommt, zusammengefaßt werden.
